"Meet the Artist" with Bucky Miller

On Thursday, March 13, we welcome Bucky Miller to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Miller will provide an overview of his life in photographic schemes, involving pet dogs, garlic, Home Depot skeletons, the Target ball, bread, raccoons, and others. This event will be live-streamed on CPW’s YouTube page at 6pm.

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.
