A new particle accelerator unveiled at CERN, the European physics research center, is expected to spawn portable accelerators that could help doctors treat cancer patients and experts analyze artwork.

CERN is gradually upgrading its hardware to get more data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), its 27-km (17-mile) circular accelerator that smashes protons together at almost the speed of light to probe basic questions about the universe.

Coordinator Jessica Rasmussen stated that the annual NAP show has become recognized as a central part of the City of Santa Rosa’s Art Program.  It’s no wonder that this year’s exhibition had even more returning artists than last year. She estimated that forty-five of the 204 participants had previously taken part in show.

In the art world, auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s are like squabbling siblings—more alike than different, yet always trying to one-up each other.

Painter Marc Chagall is beloved for his bold and colorful brush strokes. This morning, Rita Braver tells us how Chagall's deep love of music figures into his distinctive style: 

Marc Chagall is renowned as one of the most distinctive artists of the twentieth century.

It has been years since the last National Arts Program® Exhibit occurred at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center but their return to the program has been a resounding success. The 2nd Annual exhibit took place back in 2012 with 79 artists submitting 134 pieces of art. This year for their 3rd NAP exhibit they opened on March 9th and showcased 150 pieces of art from 90 participants, proving there is great demand amongst employees for an opportunity such as this. 

Now in their eighteenth year with the National Arts Program®, Coordinator Rosa Casino and the Cudell Fine Arts Staff still prove that this annual exhibition helps to bring community residents together by providing a professional art experience for everyone.  With the exhibition once again being displayed at the Arts Collinswood Gallery, which is located right in Cleveland’s Historic Waterloo Arts District, participants and visitors alike are able to see the art of their fellow community members in a new light thanks in part to the expert job Rosa and her staff do of installing the work.

ARTSY, THE ONLINE art database, has an ambitious vision: A world in which art is as popular as music. It has pursued that goal since its founding in 2009—I heard the mantra repeated at least twice while visiting the company’s lower Manhattan office—and recently took a big step toward achieving it when it bought the data science startup ArtAdvisor.

Lisa Phillips, the director of the New Museum in Lower Manhattan, walked into a cafe on Broadway one late-winter afternoon trying to steal a few minutes for lunch — it was 4:30, almost sundown. She had looked at her phone, and her eyes widened at a piece of news just then ricocheting around the art world, that Thomas P. Campbell, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for eight years, had resigned under pressure amid budget and leadership problems.

By investing in the domain, .art, Ulvi Kasimov hopes to bring digital order to a market that can suffer from mystery, forgery, and an aversion to new technological tools.

For $25 million, investor Ulvi Kasimov could have bought a decent Picasso to enjoy—or flip in a few years. Instead the London-based businessman has spent that amount on something much less tangible: an internet domain.

In a coup for the Denver Art Museum, officials this morning announced the museum will be the only place in the United States to see a wide-ranging new exhibit that looks at the evolution of French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas, who is known for his prolific output as much as his impact on the art world.

Written in 1985, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale has never been out of print. So to call renewed interested in the beloved dystopian story a “resurgence” might be disingenuous ― the book’s popularity was never in question.
