Raymond Meeks has been recognized for his books and pictures centered on family and place. In 2014, a mid-career retrospective of his books was organized by Light Work in Syracuse, NY. The exhibition featured more than 20 books, including self-published works and numerous volumes from a variety of publishers. In 2011, Meeks and publisher Kevin Messina (Silas Finch) co-founded Orchard Journal, which was established as a collaborative conversation between artist, subject, and viewer. He is currently at work on a new set of Journals under the title Dumbsaint to be published by TIS. Meeks is a 2016 recipient of the Siskind Fellowship Grant.

Using both historical and personal examples, Roger White, artist and author of The Contemporaries: Travels in the 21st-Century Art World, discusses the idiosyncrasies of studio-art education—in particular, how ideas and values are transmitted in a nonsystematic, essentially narrative way that complements or contradicts the more organized pedagogies of art history and theory.
