On the Street and In the Studio, a powerful photography exhibition celebrating creative expression and inclusion, opened February 7 at Positive Exposure Gallery, located at 83 Maiden Lane in New York City, and runs through March 7.
The exhibition features 25 photographs created by 13 photographers from CP Unlimited’s Progressive Visions Photo Club and West Farms Photo Works. Together, the images reflect a wide range of perspectives—from candid moments in public spaces to thoughtfully composed studio work—highlighting the artists’ unique voices and lived experiences, according to CP Unlimited.
“I am so happy that we are able to host this exhibition. This is their third show [at Positive Exposure Gallery]. It is a beautiful exhibition…we are so honored and it really] celebrates the vision of these incredible artists,” gallery founder and director Rick Guidotti said in a statement.
Both Progressive Visions Photo Club and West Farms Photo Works are dedicated to empowering people with disabilities through photography. Participants build technical skills, artistic confidence, and personal expression while learning to use a variety of tools, including digital and mirrorless cameras, as well as cameras with specialized shutters and adaptive mounting systems, the organization said.
Marta Colon, one of the photographers, said: “I am so happy to be here and to represent all the photographers.”
Through guided instruction and hands-on practice, participants take part in photo outings that explore their own neighborhoods and the broader New York City area.
