Upstate Photography Biennial

The first Upstate Photography Biennial is a landmark new exhibition series celebrating the diversity and vitality of photographic practices in upstate New York. Highlighting the extraordinary proliferation of creative cultural activity in the region, the exhibition will showcase the work of thirty-nine artists, drawn in part from an open call for submissions. The extensive exhibition, organized by CPW curators Marina Chao and Adam Giles Ryan, will open at CPW on Saturday, May 30, 2026, and be on view through September 6, 2026.

The Upstate Photography Biennial will spotlight the breadth and richness of contemporary photographic practices across the Hudson Valley and the upstate region. The goal of the ongoing series is to foster meaningful dialogue and community engagement around the evolving role of photographic work in the region.
