"Meet the Artist" with Lucy Sante

On Thursday, January 23, we welcome Lucy Sante to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Sante will present a show based on her book Folk Photography: The American Real-Photo Postcard, 1905-1930 (2009, 2022). 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.

Lucy Sante’s books include Low Life, Evidence, The Factory of Facts, K*ll All Your Darlings, The Other Paris, Folk Photography, Maybe the People Would Be the Times, Nineteen Reservoirs, and I Heard Her Call My Name. Her awards include a Whiting Writers Award, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Grammy (for album notes), an Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography, and Guggenheim and Cullman Center fellowships. She recently retired after 24 years teaching writing and the history of photography at Bard College.
