"Determined to achieve professional standing for American Art” is part of the founding mission statement of the The Royal Society of American Art- a community of artists providing artist studios and exhibition space. I ART New York interviews an artist, Amelia Biewald who is a curatorial partner at their gallery space, The Royal, Jason Clay Lewis who is co-founder and director of RSOAA, and as Janet Rutkowski a multidisciplinary artist, also a curatorial partner at The Royal. Izablea and Rebecca ask questions about their history and programming as well as their personal, artistic, and curatorial processes. Lewis reveals the RSOAA's newest endeavor; a free and open artists’ registry with the aim of creating an online platform for artists: https://theroyallist.com/. The intro track is “1969” by the band American Nomads from their new single and the outro is their track titled “A Revelation’s Gonna Come”.

I ART New York is produced by your hosts, Izabela Gola and Rebecca Major.
