The activities of Light Work include an Artist-in-Residence program, exhibitions, publications, grants to Central New York artists, projects for mid-career artists, and maintaining a collection of contemporary photographic works. Each year we produce five issues of our publication Contact Sheet that are distributed to artists, museums, galleries, and subscribers across the country and internationally. Each publication includes reproductions of an artist's work along with interpretative texts about the work. These publications are instrumental in creating opportunities for artists and presenting their work to a larger audience. Public lectures and gallery talks by visiting and exhibiting artists are presented throughout the year.
