Life as we know it has been altered worldwide. What used to be “normal” had to change, we all had to adjust and still do. Life is about multi-tasking and adapting to whatever comes our way. Nature taught us the ability to germinate and grow under more or less adverse conditions so once more we learn how to reinvent ourselves constantly.
ArtPort’s exhibition “Altered Presence” explores the idea of transformation, from material, conceptual, mechanical or physical. Showing works that seem to alter their appearances, reshape their presence and react to their context.

ArtPort is a newly established cultural space in the historic Cornell Steamboat Building along the Rondout Creek in Kingston, NY. ArtPort’s aim is to be a destination for art experiences and unconventional interaction between contemporary art and a wide range
of audiences. A family friendly platform for art exhibitions, performances, workshops and community gatherings.
ArtPort’s genesis illustrates why the endeavor is so unique. First came the Historic Kingston Waterfront Restoration Project, organized to create a Riverwalk destination
for locals and tourists along eight tenths of a mile of Rondout Creek waterfront. Then came the Fleet Obsolete Restoration project -- a not for profit organization dedicated to the restoration of historic WWII PT Boats at the Riverwalk. Both of these projects have been created to celebrate 400 years of maritime industry
legacy on the Rondout Creek. Now the HKWR vision has grown to include ArtPort, arts programming inspired by the environmental, cultural and historical heritage of the Creek. ArtPort’s first public event opened the holiday season 2019 with a
festive exhibition “Snowflake Waltz”, a visual exploration celebrating the traditions of the winter holidays. All are invited to come take a stroll through a world of trees
filled with unique decorations. Artists and makers near and far are sharing their
creations to transform the Cornell Building into a magical wonderland.
