ARTFIXdaily offices will be closed July 21 to 26, and reopening on Tuesday, July 27. During this time, ArtGuild members and Guest contributors may continue to submit content to the site. (Guest submissions will be published after the 26th.)

The daily e-mail newsletter will not be published from July 22 through 26.

In August, ARTFIXdaily will be undergoing a redesign and adding new features. We encourage our readers to submit ideas and feedback. Please e-mail us your thoughts on how to improve the site and our services: info@artfixdaily.com.

Please note, we may not be able to respond to e-mail between July 21 and 26. Truth be told, the ARTFIXdaily staff will be totally unwired and unwinding at a High Sierras retreat.
