Since 1977 the Center for Photography Woodstock has offered the Woodstock Photography Workshop and Lecture series to educate, encourage, inform, and inspire photographers of all ages.

Held at CPW in the idyllic town of Woodstock, NY , our hands-on Workshops allow you to expand your craft, skills, and vision under the mentorship of a leading image-maker. Our specialized weekend classes and parallel lecture series continue to attract photographers, artists, & students from across the US, Canada and abroad, from a wide range of photographic experience — ranging from the beginning photographer to the professional image-maker.

CPW's workshops have long been known as a place — free from everyday distractions — to focus on your own work in an environment with people who share your love and interest in photography. This is the place to take the time to explore, experiment, learn new techniques, problem solve, & re-energize. Each event is kept intimate by limited enrollment & our highly qualified support staff help make your experience all that you had hoped for and more.

In addition CPW hosts a monthly photographers' salon for photographers and artists working in the photo-based arts. The Salon offers a great opportunity to meet your peers and grow from the interaction of sharing, seeing, and discussing photography.

CPW also provides access to creative workspace including a traditional black-and-white darkroom and a state-of-the-art digital imaging lab equipped with large format printers, flat-bed and film scanners and the Adobe Creative Suite Design edition.
