Volunteers: The Lifeblood of PWP!
Volunteers: The Lifeblood of PWP! This November 1 we celebrate all of our dedicated Volunteers! From its founding in 1975 to the present day, volunteers have changed PWP from a group of women gathering in someone’s home to an international organization. They are responsible for the content and rich quality of its programs, from lectures and exhibitions to the web. They take charge, they move forward; in their hands PWP has flourished. No one better exemplifies this spirit than Barbara Nelson, who will be honored as Volunteer of the Year for her many contributions to PWP. From 2004 through 2007 she served on the Board, and from 2004 to 2008 she was Executive Editor of the PWP Magazine, recruiting new [continue reading...]

Objects of Affection
Objects of Affection A natural disaster in Haiti, a man-made disaster on our southern coast, two wars and a troubled economy make this a time of great sorrow and uncertainty. Images of communities in rubble, birds and animals coated in oil, troops under fire-these are glimpses of the challenges that face our world, and remind us how vital photography is in our understanding of incomprehensible tragedies. But in bitter times we also need to focus on love, hope and connectivity, and photography can also bring us to that realm. In this spirit, PWP presents its latest exhibition, Objects of Affection opening July 28th at Calumet Photographic . It is a display of images that make us smile, laugh, and celebrate.

It Began with an Exhibition…
It Began with an Exhibition… In the beginning there was an exhibition. In 1975, Breadth of Vision: Portfolios of Women Photographers opened at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and galvanized a group of women to meet, share information and support each other’s projects. It was out of these gatherings that Professional Women Photographers was born. Exhibitions have always been a huge part of the group, showcasing the diverse talents of its members. From the Me Generation at Photographics Unlimited in 1981 to Elegy for Eden at the Durst Gallery in 2007 and the upcoming Objects of Affection at Calumet Photo, there have been many evocative PWP shows that dealt with issues of the time.
