CELEBRATING DAWOUD BEY
2019 CPW Awards & Benefit Auction
Thursday, October 3 in NYC
|
Please join us this week at the CPW Awards & Benefit Auction, where we celebrate our honorees, photographer Dawoud Bey and philanthropist Alan Siegel, while also raising money for CPW's vital programs.
OUR HONOREES
It is our pleasure to award CPW's highest recognition, the Vision Award, to
DAWOUD BEY
to acknowledge his extraordinary contributions to the field as photographer, mentor, activist and educator. The list of Dawoud's accomplishments is long and impressive. He is the recipient of a MacArthur "Genius Award" Fellowship, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, and more. Most recently, the University of Texas Press published a 40-year retrospective monograph of his work,
Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply
. A major exhibition will open at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art next year, and will go on to travel to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC.
This year CPW will also be awarding an Affinity Award to philanthropist and director of the Thompson Family Foundation,
ALAN SIEGEL
(1935-2019). Alan was a dear friend to the organization, a passionate advocate for art, a lover of Woodstock, as well as a painter and photographer. Never shy to take on committee work, Alan joined numerous boards. Among others, he served on the boards of the Museum of the City of New York, the American Committee of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Pioneer Works, and in Woodstock at CPW, Woodstock School of Art and Maverick Concerts.
