"Meet the Artist" with Women Photographers Collective of the mid-Hudson Valley

Please join us during Upstate Art Weekend on June 25, for an extra special “Meet the Artist” talk + party. All are invited to 25 Dederick Street to honor the fabulous Women Photographers Collective of the Mid-Hudson Valley (WPC). Members of this dynamic group of photographers will present their work, and join us after for a celebratory party. The WPC and CPW are particularly intertwined this season: sixteen of their members are featured in our current Community Gallery exhibition Gestures of Care, Resilience, and Connection, and three are included in our current Upstate Photography Biennial.

The “Meet the Artist” talk will feature WPC members Shari Diamond, Kay Kenney, Lori Grinker, and Meryl Meisler presenting the work of all 25 members of the Collective. The presentation will begin at 6pm, followed by a discussion. Then, there will be a reception with food and drinks, and visitors will be able to visit both exhibitions and see the Collective’s remarkable works on view. This presentation will be live-streamed on CPW’s YouTube page at 6pm.

We look forward to having our community meet these amazing photographers, and we encourage RSVPs!

“Meet the Artist” is made possible by generous grants from the Arnold & Augusta Newman Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
