On Thursday, November 7, we welcome Harlan Bozeman and Salvador Espinoza (current Woodstock AIRs) to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Bozeman will share several series of work from the past four years of his photographic practice. Espinoza will present his ongoing project on his home neighborhood of Long Island City as well as current work in progress The Given of the Place, a portrait series on the Salvadoran diaspora.
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.
