On Thursday, August 6, we welcome Meg Turner to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Meg will be presenting her new Artist Book “WET” Volume 2, created in residence and published by Women’s Studio Workshop, 2026. “WET” is a photographic love letter to a radical queer American roadside, in the format of a vintage photo magazine created using the historic processes of wet plate collodion and photogravure. Meg will have copies of her photobooks for sale throughout the evening. 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.
