“Thank you to CPW for being the home for photographers in upstate New York.”
Qiana Mestrich, Photographer and 2025 CPW Saltzman Prize Awardee
At CPW, photographers are at the forefront of our vision and mission. Our new home in Kingston, New York, has quickly become a “go-to” resource for lens-based artists – a welcoming place for photography enthusiasts to work on their craft and share ideas with others. Our year-round classes, exhibitions, workshops, artist residencies, Digital Media Lab, and Photo Club are just a few of the programs that make CPW such a dynamic and inclusive community arts hub.
In 2026, CPW is building ten new artist studios at 25 Dederick Street to provide low-cost space in a communal atmosphere. These studios will help foster artistic creativity and growth, and bolster Kingston’s photography community. Your support today will allow us to manage and steward this initiative.
AT CPW, we celebrate artists. Support CPW’s efforts to champion their creativity and offer them a dynamic environment in which to work and thrive.
Thank you for your consideration.
Happy Holidays!
Best,
Brian Wallis,
Executive Director
