New York City’s Free Premier Photography Destination, Photoville, is Back

Returning for its 12th consecutive year, the annual Photoville Festival is excited to feature the return of the Photoville Village in Brooklyn Bridge Park with some of our classic shipping containers, in addition to open-air exhibitions throughout all five boroughs of New York City.

Collaborating with hundreds of artists and programming partners to curate and present over 80 outdoor exhibitions, Photoville Festival addresses a wide range of issues giving visitors a unique experience of thought-provoking and exceptional photography from across the globe.

From June 3-18, 2023, this year’s festival is sure to bring an experience filled with events, workshops, talks, student field trips and installations that continue to keep us connected in the photography community. Join the Photoville Village on June 3rd and June 4th to celebrate the opening weekend in Brooklyn Bridge Park!

Photoville 2022 featured a continuation of virtual talks, as well as a return to in-person discussions, workshops, and community events. We displayed 67 open air exhibitions dispersed throughout New York City. 

Over 1,000,000 visitors engaged with our free and public exhibitions in the five boroughs, showcasing the incredible work of over 200 artists, collaborating with partners including The New York Times, National Geographic, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Alice Austen House, Times Square Arts, The Bronx Documentary Center, The Queens Museum, and more.

Working with parks and city officials to safely install exhibition banners and custom structures throughout parks and public spaces in New York City, exhibitions remained on view for several months so that communities could enjoy them while using these open spaces as a place to recharge, exercise, and relax.

Daytime programming at the 2022 Festival included 30 workshops and special events presented with and by artists and industry professionals, with partners such as Diversify Photo, Leica Camera, Adobe, ICP, PhotoWings, and more. 

Over 700 students and educators across New York City attended our 2022 Festival education program which was proudly supported by our partner PhotoWings and the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment. Throughout the week, participants were able to meet exhibiting photographers to hear them speak about their work, while also attending panel discussions of student photographers beginning their journey in visual storytelling.
