Opening Reception:

Co-Prosperity Catskill - 391 Main Street, Catskill, NY

Saturday, June 23 6-9pm

(July 23-September 30, 2022) Public Media Institute is thrilled to present a new exhibition of works by Chicago-based artist Victoria Martinez at Co-Prosperity Catskill. Martinez will be in residence in New York making in the weeks preceding the exhibition, staying in Windham, NY with Public Media Institute partners Fictilis. She’ll be working toward major solo exhibitions of her work at the Chicago Cultural Center and Produce Model Chicago, as well as exhibitions at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts and Museo Universitario Del Chopo in Mexico City.

Co-Prosperity Catskill is a nonprofit gallery founded in Spring 2021 as a satellite space for Public Media Institute, whose primary activities take place in Chicago, IL. Since then the space has welcomed artists from upstate, the midwest and beyond in an effort to promote exchange and amplification of emerging and mid-career artists. Look forward to exhibitions from Jeffery Gibson’s studio and Oakland/Puerto Rico-based artist Sofia Cordova in the fall of 2022.
