“I had an amazing time as a CPW Woodstock Artist-in-Residence this fall – spending every day working and learning, sharpening my craft technically and expanding the way I view and make images. I focused on bookmaking, printing, editing, and speaking and thinking about my work. I am truly a better artist because of my time at CPW.”
Dean Majd, Woodstock AIR 2025
At CPW, photographers fuel our vision and mission. Our new home in Kingston, New York, has quickly become a “go-to” learning laboratory for lens-based artists – a welcoming place for photography enthusiasts to work on their craft and share ideas with others.
Our renowned residency, Woodstock AIR, now in its 27th year, helps artists improve their skills and methodologies by offering month-long residencies, complete with technical resources and staff support. With the loss of federal funding for Woodstock AIR in 2025, your support of this signature CPW program is more essential than ever.
Support our efforts to champion artistic creativity and offer photographers a thriving environment to work and thrive in.
Thank you for your consideration.
Happy Holidays!
Best,
Brian Wallis, Executive Director
