On Thursday, June 26, we welcome Jackie Bates to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Jackie will talk about her work as the photo director at California Sunday Magazine and New York Times Opinion, as well as tips on pitching to publications, and more. She will be leading a Photography on Assignment workshop at CPW this month, which will run June 27–29.
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.
