CONSTELLATION /
Celebrating the Center’s First 25 Years

a Center for Photography at Woodstock anniversary exhibition
August 10 – October 20, 2002

2002 marks the 25^th anniversary of the Center for Photography at Woodstock! The history of the Center is not a timeline, but a constellation of people, a circle of artists & audiences who have taken part in our offerings. Since our founding in 1977, this artist run not-for-profit has served well over 12,000 artists & audiences in the hundred thousands. The Center’s offerings over the last 25 years illustrates not only the history of a dedicated artists’ organization, but spans a quarter of a century of the best of creative photography in the international field. In celebration, this anniversary exhibition, Constellation, highlights some of the most vibrant artists working today who have taught, exhibited, & participated in CPW programs over the last quarter of a century. The artists you’ll see may have had one of their first solo shows here, been awarded a CPW Photographers’ Fellowship grant, taught a Workshop, or been published in our magazine, PHOTOGRAPHY Quarterly…. since then they’ve gone on to become some of the stars in the national creative community.
