“Meet the Artist”
Jasmine Clarke
April 27, 2023
5:30 – 7:00 pm
474 Broadway, Kingston, NY
On Thursday, April 27, we welcome photographer Jasmine Clarke, a visiting artist-in-residence at Bard College. For Clarke, photography tells us that what we are seeing is true, but it is not. It is a selective truth, even a fiction. In her work, Clarke aims to capture a trace of the unexplainable: where dreams meet the physical world and earthly things take on higher meaning.
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.
