Contemporary Art Workshop
Approaching its fifty-ninth year in existence, the Contemporary Art Workshop houses artist studios and two galleries. While it has focused on showing traditional media—CAW had its first show by a video artist last year—they’ve consistently given promising artists their first solo exhibition. Sadly, this is also the end of the road for CAW. Lincoln Park lofts and boutiques are encroaching, so they’ll host their farewell early next year.
