This ultimate artisan showcase, hosted by hip hop cultural media icon Ralph McDaniels, welcomes the entire family and will take place Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2, 2016.

IAMART*NYC, created by a collective of event professionals who selected New York City to kick-off their four-city international tour celebrating art as a life form. “Art is expressed in countless ways and too many it’s just a way of life.  IAMART*NYC was created to because it’s my belief that art is in everyone.  You’re art, we’re art, I am art,” Earl Silas, creator of IAMART*NYC 2016
