Cpws one-of-a-kind artist-in-residence program, woodstock air, was created in 1999 to support photography-based artists of color and to expand the dialogue around diversity, race and identity in the context of social justice. Over 160 artists and writers have participated in this workspace residency to date. Cpws professional workspaces include a state-of-the-art digital media lab and assorted studio spaces. The facilities address the professional and creative needs of the growing number of artists, who live and work in the extended hudson valley region. The lab and studio space are available for hourly rental and make equipment accessible not otherwise available in the area.
