NEW YORK, NY — Professional Women Photographers (PWP) invites the public to the opening reception of Small Works: A Fundraiser Exhibition on Sunday, March 8, 2026 — International Women’s Day — at The Breezeway, BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, 199 Chambers Street, New York, NY 10007. The reception runs from 2:00 to 6:00 PM and is free and open to the public with an RSVP.

Curated by Claudia Sohrens, Small Works brings together 92 women and non-binary photographers whose cell phone images — each printed at an intimate 6 × 6 inches — form a powerful collective tapestry of personal, social, political, and environmental storytelling. The exhibition runs March 9–21, 2026, with public hours of 11:00 AM – 6:30 PM daily.

The opening reception on March 8 is part of PWP’s ongoing 50th Anniversary celebration, which began in October 2025 — a year-long recognition of five decades of empowering women in photography.

Among the 92 participating artists are photographers whose work is held in private and institutional collections and commands significantly higher prices in the market: Meryl Meisler, Mariette Pathy Allen, Joan Roth, Jini Sachse, and Barbara Leven to name a few. Their participation makes Small Works a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire works by established artists at $50 — with every dollar going directly to the documentary.

“Small Works encourages slow, attentive looking as an act of care and resistance in a time defined by speed and scarcity. The exhibition brings diverse perspectives into dialogue, emphasizing collective making over individual authorship.”— Claudia Sohrens, Curator

Small Works is a fundraiser benefiting the production of the PWP 50th Anniversary Documentary, Women of Vision: 50 Years of Empowering Women in Photography, slated to premiere in June 2026. All prints are available for purchase at $50 per image in a limited edition of 10, with 100% of proceeds supporting the film.

The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, which is partnering with PWP by providing The Breezeway — a highly visible public venue — to maximize the exhibition’s community reach and fundraising impact.
