The Homeless of Ulster County

Most people have never been inside a homeless shelter, but they think they know what one looks like.  They have seen the typical media images of squalor and human misery, of worn-out mothers and sad children marooned in rooms with little more than television sets for diversion.  That is why the photographs taken by Kate Wilder of homeless families in Ulster County are a revelation.

The show, "Call it Home" (Photographic Essay by Kate Wilder)

will open at The New Paltz Village Hall on March 7th as a benefit for Family of Woodstock Inc. and the Family Domestic Violence Women's Services.

A book of Ms. Wilder's photographs of the homeless, "Call It Home" has been published and a book will be on sale.  The cost of the book, "Call it Home: Photography about the Homeless" is $25.00.

An exhibition of more than 40 photographs, "Call it Home" will be on view from 9 a.m. to 3:30 pm each day at New Paltz Village Hall on Plattekill Avenue in New Paltz, New York.

Admission is free.

Monetary donations gladly accepted.  Please make check payable to Family Domestic Violence Services c/o Arts for Peace. P.O. Box 1240 New Paltz, NY 12561
