ARTIST FEATURE: Viv Siqueriros @viv.ceramics, a pa ARTIST FEATURE: Viv Siqueriros @viv.ceramics, a participating artist in “You Deserve Your Flowers,” a group ceramics exhibition curated by Lena Chin @lenalaiceramics. During a time of immense social-political violence against people of color, women, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, this exhibition offers a place of respite and recognition. Join us for the opening celebration in our gallery on Saturday, May 17th, from 4 to 7 PM! Drawn to making socially interactive sculptures, Viv siqueiros plays with familial memory, queer identity, and clay kinship. Working in clay studios since their adolescence, siqueiros traces years of mentorship and sustained practice within their work. Siqueiros studies ceramics within and beyond art institutions, finding connections in and working towards collective spaces. Currently residing as a guest on Nisenan Land, commonly known as Sacramento, siqueiros has found grounding in reconnection to earth and body through communal farming. #womenstudioworkshop #WSWexhibitions #contemporaryceramics #QueerCeramics #hudsonvalleyart

We are pleased to announce that “A Radical Alter We are pleased to announce that “A Radical Alteration: Women’s Studio Workshop as a Sustainable Model for Art Making,” curated by Maymanah Farhart, has made its way to D.C. and launched at the National Museum of Women in the Arts @womeninthearts! The exhibition will be on view through September 28th, 2025. Check it out across from the Guerrilla Girls exhibition if you’re in the area! A Radical Alteration opened in January 2024 and has had three stops before arriving at NMWA. The exhibition will wrap up at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts @MinnesotaCenterforBookArts between August 16 and October 3, 2025. Our 50th-anniversary exhibition examines the organization’s rich history as a proponent of book arts for marginalized communities in the U.S., where documentation and critical analysis in the field are still largely reserved for White male artists. Through artists’ books, zines, printed materials, ephemera, and archival materials, the exhibition looks at how the WSW’s policies, programming, and operations have evolved over the last fifty years, thus creating a space where the conditions of art making and institutional support are in the service of a sustainable and more equitable art ecosystem.

During a time of immense social-political violence against people of color, women, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, this exhibition offers a place of respite and recognition. Join us for the opening celebration in our gallery on Saturday, May 17th, from 4 to 7 PM! S. Lantz is an artist primarily working in ceramics. They are pursuing an MFA in Ceramics at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and are the Administrator for The Color Network. S. Lantz has exhibited in Seattle, nationally, and abroad. They graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Washington, Seattle. S. Lantz investigates expressions of care, intimacy, and identity. Ceramic forms graft visual and technical languages of tattoos, piercings, and adornment with communication of individual and collective identity to self and others. In this work, they grapple with explicit or encoded identities, contact, care, context, liminality, and identity. Themes of celebration and mourning, expressions of ownership of self and body, and the ownership and telling of stories and histories surface in this work. #womenstudioworkshop #WSWexhibitions #contemporaryceramics #QueerCeramics #hudsonvalleyart

Join us this Saturday, April 26, from 2 to 5 PM to Join us this Saturday, April 26, from 2 to 5 PM to celebrate young artists from the Kingston City School District @kingstoncsd, and view their creations from their time in WSW’s Art-in-Education program! Over four weeks, students worked in our Papermaking, Intaglio, and Silkscreen studios, exploring the foundations of these artistic processes through experimentation and collaboration. This session of AIE marks the 40th year of WSW’s partnership with Kingston City School District! Since 1985, we have devoted several weeks a year to providing in-depth, day-long experiences for students. Sessions always culminate in an exhibition, allowing students to experience showing their work in a professional gallery. This session, AIE classes explored central themes of collaboration and duality, led by artists SR Lejeune, Celia Shaheen @gothmomgothmom, Gil Dickinson @rathertendersubject, and Paria Ahmadi @_safety_matches_ AIE is made possible with support from NoVo novoinkingston, a branch of the NoVo Foundation, Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, New York State Council of the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York Legislature, Klock Kingston Foundation, and Stewart’s Holiday Match Program.
