“Meet the Artist” with Sasha Phyars-Burgess

Thursday, July 30, 2026
Doors at 5:30pm. Artist talk at 6pm.
25 Dederick Street, Kingston, NY

On Thursday, July 30, we welcome Sasha Phyars-Burgess to “Meet the Artist.” Phyars-Burgess will present her long-term photography project Everything Nice, which links African diaspora’s past and present to specific agricultural sites, ports, and locations along the transatlantic slave trade that centered around sugarcane production. By using the sensitive, didactic, and ambiguous nature of photographs, Phyars-Burgess seeks to explore the relationship between diaspora, labor, and the transformative effects of the triangular trade. This event will be live-streamed on CPW’s YouTube page at 6pm.

Join us on select Thursday evenings 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 generous grants from the Arnold & Augusta Newman Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
