Three fine artists were among the 25 recipients of this year's $500,000 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, also known as "genius grants." 2006 Fellow Josiah McElheny is a sculptor working with blown glass; his past projects include the large-scale 2005 chandelier sculpture An End to Modernity . Installation artist Anna Schuleit, who uses flowers, grasses, and music to enliven historic architectural spaces, also received the award. Schuleit's 2003 Bloom filled the hallways of the Massachusetts Mental Health Center with a variety of flowers. Painter Shahzia Sikander was also recognized; her work combines the South Asian art tradition of miniature painting with contemporary flair.
