FIRST FOUNDLING FELLOWS ANNOUNCED; NEW CAA.REVIEWS FIELD EDITORS

At a ceremony at The Foundling Museum in London this evening, the names of the first Foundling Fellows will be announced. Damon Albarn is the first Handel Fellow, Richard Wentworth is the first Hogarth Fellow, and Jacqueline Wilson is the first Coram Fellow. The Foundling Fellowship was established this year with the support of the Clore Duffield Foundation. The fellows are named after Thomas Coram, William Hogarth, and George Frideric Handel, the founders and benefactors of the original Foundling Hospital, which The Foundling Museum commemorates. During 2008 the three Foundling Fellows will work with the museum to develop original, creative initiatives for children.
