“Meet the Artist” with Ally Caple

On Thursday, December 5, we welcome Ally Caple (current Woodstock AIR) to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Caple will be presenting photographs from over the past few years, including from her body of work titled May I Speak Freely, as well more recent in-progress images that have yet to be shared. She’ll also be sharing about her work as an educator, speaking about the collaborative Vol 1 publication that was published by The Photographer’s Green Book in 2021 and how teaching photography and visual literacy has informed her practice as an artist.

Join us every Thursday evening at CPW, when we host illuminating talks with local and visiting artists. “Meet the Artist” allows the public to get to know new work, to hear about artistic processes, and to meet friends and other local artists. The evening takes place at CPW’s gallery at 474 Broadway in Kingston, NY. It is free and open to the public. Coffee, tea, and snacks are served. “Meet the Artist” is made possible by a generous grant from the Arnold and Augusta Newman Foundation.

Ally Caple is an artist and educator living and working in New York City. She currently leads the Expanding the Walls teen program at The Studio Museum in Harlem and works closely with The Photographer’s Green Book and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Caple has completed programs at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Magnum Foundation, and is an upcoming resident at Center for Photography at Woodstock (late 2024) and Wassaic Project (2025). Working primarily in photography, her current practice considers surveillance, digital safety, and Black visibility in image-making.
