Our Art Campus

The YWCA Ulster County Art Campus is a living space where creativity, care, and community come together.

ABOUT

A vibrant, accessible cultural space.

The YWCA Ulster County Art Campus is a space that integrates art into the heart of community life. Our Maiden Lane Gallery is open to the public with rotating exhibitions, public art installations, and artist-led programming. The campus supports artists while inviting community members to engage with art as a shared experience. Through this work, the Art Campus fosters dialogue, reflection, and collective imagination, creating opportunities for healing, learning, and connection across differences.

Our Current Artist In-House

Maiden Lane Gallery is proud to open Basket As We, Basket As Me, a solo exhibition by Karen Kimmel. The show features twenty-three hand-woven, cotton rope ‘baskets’ displayed as a tableau in addition to textile works on the wall. Kimmel’s career ranges from the micro to the macro, with previous works extending beyond the frame of a downtown Los Angeles billboard. In this new body of work, with subtle praise to the ever-timeless Shaker aesthetic, Kimmel positions her work fitting into life - objects founded in wisdom and gratitude; each one posing with its own reflection. 


Exhibition ending: February 8th 2026
