Colleen and Kathleen, Phoenicia, New York, August, 1978
As CPW’s executive director from 1981 to 2003, Colleen Kenyon grew the fledgling alternative space into an internationally recognised cultural centre. She championed the concerns of women artists, focused the CPW’s mission on contemporary fine art photography and, in 1999, inaugurated Woodstock AIR, a residency program for artists of colour. In 2004, Colleen was the recipient of the inaugural CPW Vision award with her sister Kathleen
