The Center for Photography at Woodstock will purchase a vacant historic building—the former Slyke & Horton cigar factory—in the heart of the Midtown Arts District of Kingston, Ulster County. The renovated building will be used as a photography museum, gallery, and community educational center. This project will create a significant economic anchor in a distressed area targeted for revitalization, and will become a major regional attraction and cultural center for the City of Kingston.
