In-depth conversations with artists about art, both online and in print
Richard Whitaker and his wife, Rue Harrison started the non-profit Society for the ReCognition of Art. They wanted to provide a place for something they found missing in the art world. Through in-depth interviews, they feature the voices of artists who talk freely about the transformative experience of making art. Their most visible activity is the publication of a print magazine, works & conversations. They first published works & conversations 16 years ago. Their magazine includes interviews, portfolios, profiles and other features in an ad-free environment. In recent years, they have expanded coverage to include interviews with remarkable individuals doing creative work of all kinds.
