Since moving to Kingston in 2021, CPW’s mission and program has expanded, and here you have a sneak peak into that newness. Our new headquarters at 25 Dederick Street will allow for more exhibition space, a larger Digital Media Lab, a community darkroom, and increased classroom/convening space. Our plans also call for a film screening theater, a collection storage vault, a library study center, and office space for staff.
AS CPW writes its next chapter, we aim to:
- become a creative anchor for all in downtown Kingston
- re-imagine the regional art museum in dialogue with a worldwide audience
- advance Artist-in-Residence program values throughout CPW’s work
- nurture a robust photography-based community in the Hudson River Valley
And: Come see for yourself! Join us on January 18, 2025, for a big party at 25 Dederick Street in Kingston to celebrate our grand re-opening!
Happy Holidays and many thanks for considering CPW in your year-end giving!

We're nearing the close of our 25th edition of Woodstock AIR, and would like to say goodbye to our amazing 2024 participants, and thank our sponsors. Since 1999, CPW has hosted over 175 artists at our much-heralded residency. As we prepare to open applications for our 26th AIR, we're reminded that we run this program because art points to what we need to say or cannot otherwise say.
Huge thanks to our incredible sponsors for supporting the Residency! Your generosity and commitment make it possible to uplift emerging voices in photography—artists who have the ability illuminate how we live, connect, and navigate our world. Woodstock AIR thrives because of your belief in the power of art to inspire change and build community. Together, we’re amplifying stories that matter in order to create a brighter, more inclusive future.
This year, WOODSTOCK AIR was made possible in part with support from the Joy of Giving Something Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Phillip & Edith Leonian Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), and individuals. Special thanks to our incredible in-kind collaborators, picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom (@phtsdr) and Hahnemühle (@Hahnemühle USA).

Last few days to catch our beloved exhibition, Pride and Protest: Photographs by Fred W. McDarrah! It will be on view through Sunday, 11-5 PM. As the Albany Times Union noted, “Although the pictures of queer heroes and humans in Pride & Protest are all printed in black and white, it’s difficult not to project onto them the beautiful cacophony of color inherent to pride celebrations.”
Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in a pivotal few decades of our collective history!
Note that after we de-install Pride, our exhibition program will be on hiatus while Phase One renovations are taking place at 25 Dederick Street.
We re-open at 25 Dederick Street on January 18, 2025. Stay tuned.
Dear CPW printing, scanning, & fine art community: We are moving the CPW Digital Media Lab (DML) to our 474 Broadway space while Phase One renovations of 25 Dederick Street are underway. This means that the DML will be closed September 3–6.
The DML will re-open Tuesday, September 10th at 474 Broadway, fully operational. And then, in January 2025, once Phase One reno is complete, we'll move back permanently to Dederick Street, to a brand new space on the second floor. It's going to be fab!
Rest assured, no matter where our DML sits, our state-of-the-art equipment and fantastic staff will be on hand to help. For questions, please reach out to Alicia Schirrmeister, Digital Media Lab Assistant, at [email protected]. Note too, our fine art printing and scanning services are available by contacting Print coordinator Ryan Rusiecki at [email protected].
We hope to see you in the lab soon!

“Remember to Dream” by @carriemaeweems @ccsbard is a ravishing, playful powerful, and moving show. Do your future self a favor and explore Carrie’s nine rooms of ancestral and contemporary wonders.
Your weekend plans? Catch the last two days of Counter Histories, our fantastic exhibition of work by artists Tamara Abdul Hadi, Alan Chin, Naomieh Jovin, Billy H.C. Kwok, and Qiana Mestrich. The artists confront difficult histories by reconstructing perspectives that have been omitted from previously accepted or official accounts. Their deeply personal visual narratives are reconstructed out of found images derived from family photo albums, books, magazines, or community archives.
The works in “Counter Histories” ask probing questions about our construction of the past, such as, What new meanings are suggested by the absences and silences one finds in archives and historical records? How can artists engage with histories that are not photographed? How can these revisionist archives contribute to fuller understandings of the past and future?
On view 11-5pm through May 26, the exhibition is presented in partnership with Magnum Foundation.
474 Broadway, Kingston.
