Founded in 1977 as the Center for Photography at Woodstock, CPW is a not-for-profit arts organization with a dual mission: to support artists working in photography and related media, and to engage audiences through creation, discovery, and learning. At the heart of CPW’s mission is programming that is community-based, artist-centered, and collaborative. To foster public conversation around critical issues in photography, CPW offers exhibitions, workshops, artists’ residencies, and access to its Digital Media Lab. In 2022, CPW relocated from Woodstock to Kingston, NY and in January 2025, CPW opened its new headquarters – including a photography museum, and an educational and community center– in a 40,000-square-foot factory building at 25 Dederick Street. 

Address: 25 Dederick St, Kingston, NY 12401
Gallery Hours: Thursday to Sunday 11am – 5pm
Free admission
