Doors at 5:30 pm. Artist talk at 6 pm.
25 Dederick Street, Kingston, NY
On Thursday, May 29, we welcome Andrea Frank to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Frank will be presenting bodies of photography-based work from 1997-2025, which explore and revisit the themes of ideological molding, complexity, ecology, and the tension between individual and collective responsibility. She will share about how she is integrating collaborative emergent processes into her practice, in response to the unfolding polycrisis. This event will be live-streamed on CPW’s YouTube page at 6pm.
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 25 Dederick Street 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.
In her artistic practice, Andrea Frank explores complexity, ecology, and collective psychological resonances through photography and related media.
