Join us for CPW's 2009 Benefit Gala on Sunday October 11th, 2009 at the Bearsville Theater beginning at 2pm. 

This year's event will honor our 2009 Vision Award Honoree,  W.M. Hunt, collector, curator, educator, gallery owner, writer, and emerging artist advocate  and features CPW's 31st annual benefit auction of contemporary and classic photographs beginning at 4pm.

 Benefit Gala 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 2009:

Gala Tickets ($100 per person) include the Vision Award reception (live music with the Perry Beekman Trio, food, drink, and award ceremony) and a complimentary copy of the auction catalog which admits two to the live sale.

>The Auction Preview will be presented as an exhibition from September 26 - October 10 (and then back to the traditional "bagged-and-binned" format for the 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!
