Join us for CPW's 2008 Benefit Gala on Saturday October 11th, 2008 at the Bearsville Theater. 

This year's event will honor our 2008 Vision Award Honorees, photographer Lilo Raymond and Neil C. Trager founding director of the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz and feature CPW's 30th annual benefit auction of contemporary and classic photographs.

 Auction proceeds directly support the creative programs of the Center for Photography at Woodstock, a not-for-profit arts and educational organization. Please support the arts.

New for 2008:

>Our annual benefit event will combine a very special reception honoring our 2008 Vision Award Honorees and our 30th annual benefit auction. Gala Tickets ($100 per person) include the Vision Award reception (live music, buffet dinner, and award ceremony) and a complimentary copy of the auction catalog which admits two to the live sale.

 Special thanks to our event sponsors; 

>The Auction Preview will be presented as an exhibition from August 30 - October 9 (and then back to the traditional "bagged-and-binned" format for the 10th and 11th).

 >Admission to the Auction ONLY is by purchase of the Benefit Catalog ($35 / $25 CPW members) which admit two guests to the live sale. Order your copy today!
