The Center for Photography at Woodstock

CPW is a gathering place for critical dialogue and creative discovery in photography and related media. Our mission is to effect social change through innovative and inspiring programs that explore photography as an adept medium for understanding ourselves, our communities, and our society.

CPW is a community-based museum and school that encourages emerging artists, experimental ideas, and relevant debates about photography and visual culture. Through its exhibitions, educational programming, Digital Media Lab, collection, community spaces, and artist residency program, CPW strives to promote a more equitable and diverse society by facilitating artistic inquiry, professional development, scholarly research, critical dialogue, and local engagement.
