Airfield

Mission

Airfield aims to foster creative discourse through a series of exhibitions starting in Summer 2021. Collectively-run, Airfield is a partnership between Anna Gray, Franklin Parrasch, and Carolyn Ramo.

Airfield is inspired by Robert Smithson's concept of the nonsite, a metaphoric idea of space in which one site can represent another site that does not resemble it. Similarly, Airfield operates as a temporary space, or intermission, engaging in a dialogue between the formal indoor gallery structure, where art is exhibited, and a conceptual outdoor site.

Visit

Airfield is located at 26 Downs Street in midtown Kingston, New York. The gallery is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 5pm, and Monday through Friday by appointment only.

Airfield is a pop-up gallery in midtown Kingston, New York, created to foster creative discourse through a series of exhibitions beginning in summer 2021. Rather than a permanent collection behind fixed walls, the space offers a changing program of shows that bring together contemporary practice in an intimate, easily approachable setting. Visitors are invited to move between rooms of vivid photography, illustration, and installation work, encountering bold floral imagery and saturated color against calm, uncluttered surroundings. The gallery's purpose is conversation as much as display, opening a place where artists, neighbors, and curious guests can share ideas and spend time with work that rewards attention.

The Airfield experience is deliberately simple: light neutral walls, soft grey paneling, and a deep navy accent used sparingly for headings and rounded buttons, allowing the artwork to carry the color and energy of the room. Sans-serif typography set in uppercase with generous letter-spacing gives the space an editorial, gallery-catalogue clarity, while generous spacing between sections keeps the atmosphere airy and considered. Each exhibition is temporary, so the program evolves and repopulates the space over time, encouraging repeat visits. Supporting the gallery are online channels where imagery, installation views, and studio notes extend the conversation beyond the Kingston storefront and into a wider audience.
