Our Mission
The Capa Space is an education and exhibition center created to foster and advance the belief that the community can use photography to advance concepts of peace, equality and justice. The Capa Space is dedicated to continuing the legacy of Robert and Cornell Capa’s work as “concerned” photographers. The Capa Space is a place where people gather to create, view and learn about photography. We aim to inspire visitors to participate in the creative process by illustrating the power of photography as a catalyst for social action.

“The Capa Space will be a 21st century arts center that embraces photography as a means to draw the community together in common purpose and to strengthen the bonds that exist between neighbors. I wholeheartedly support this project.”
“ICP supports the mission of The Capa Space and looks forward to collaborating. We hope to see The Capa Space thrive as an exhibition space and thought leader in Westchester.”
“Please consider me a ‘concerned’ contributor to The Capa Space It has my full stamp of approval and strong sense that Robert and Cornell would approve.”
