“Meet the Artist” with Colin Beattie

On Thursday, December 11, we welcome Colin Beattie to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. During Colin’s talk, titled “SLOW LEARNER,” he will discuss his personal experience in photography from his first Nickelodeon camera to his current studio work in Poughkeepsie. Along the way, he’ll be taking a step back to consider the cultural and economic forces that have acted as an invisible influence on his own personal trajectory. He hopes to explore the possibility that his personal moments of discovery were in fact shaped or fully constructed by teams of creative professionals at work in the fields of publishing and advertising.

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. Doors open at 5:30 pm.
