After a long history of meeting with and working with artists and art galleries, PUGG has taken the reigns on all parts of the curatorial process to create their own exhibiton: Fervornova.

Mary Mattingly shared some of her most iconic artwork, and spotlighted the value and possibilities of working environmentally conscious.

The D.R.A.W. held the second annual Jell-O Jamboree, and it was a roaring success, full of fun and whimsy!

Thanks to BOOGIEREZ and O Positive, PUGG got to experience an adventure into New York City and its sky-high passion for the arts.

Lost Kingston acts as a meaningful time capsule into a major part of Kinston’s history that has been lost to time. This soulful exhibition is on display at the CPW until December 31st, 2023.

From August 19th to October 22nd 2023, the Center for Photography at Woodstock held one of their most powerful shows yet: Upstate Girls to Grown Upstate: Unraveling Collar City 2004-23 by Brenda Ann Kenneally.

In July I had the privilege of seeing hats made by Hudson Valley artist Deborah Ryan. Her steampunk-inspired creations are on display at Blue Byrd’s Hole In The Wall gallery, at 320 Wall St.

With everything the D.R.A.W. has done over the years, the Neighborhood Print Studio is the natural evolution of our efforts and goals.

From the collections of Nakki Goranin and Oliver Wasow comes a vast array of people and time periods that have utilized photobooths. Black Photobooth puts them all on display in the CPW, which acts as a museum as much as a gallery.

For PUGG’s first inaugural fundraiser, we created a whacky Jell-O party for the community. Jiggly, sweet fun was had by all.

In our time, it can be difficult to find a job in the arts. The CPW is a local establishment all about photography, in an accessible location. Through the D.R.A.W.’s internship program, I have gotten the opportunity to work there.
