This week on Art After Dark, Maddy chills you to the bone with the story of Mary Bell, a terrifying, sadistic 10-year old child who terrorized her neighborhood. Natalie cleanses the palate with the calming history of the Venice Carnival, one of Italy’s oldest traditions, and describes some of the most iconic, decorative mask types worn by festival-goers at Carnival.
