Sara Reisman and Thomas E Moore III Update Us on the National Academy of Design

In this week's edition of the ArtTactic Podcast, we chat with Sara
Reesman, chief curator and director of NA affairs at the National
Academy of Design, and Thomas Moore, director of development at the
National Academy of Design. First, Sara and Thomas tell us about
the history of the academy and why it was established. After
opening in 1825, they then tell us what the academy has been doing
the past few hundred years. Then, Sara and Thomas explain how
artists join the academy. Also, they share why they think the
academy still resonates today with reputable artists, such as
recent Academicians like Rashid Johnson and Julie Mehretu. Lastly,
they tell us why they have embraced a startup mentality despite
being a few hundred years old.
