In the Summer 2008, the University of Illinois Press published a special issue of the Journal of Aesthetic Education featuring discussions of an arts education curriculum project using the work of seventeenth-century Dutch painter, Rembrandt van Rijn, as an online teaching resource. Ralph A. Smith, founder and former editor of JAE and professor emeritus of cultural and educational policy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, guest-edited the issue, and recently announced the formal launch of the NEH-supported Web site, Rembrandt and Collections of His Art in America.

Congratulations to Prof. Smith and his colleagues!
