After two weeks of amplifying visual stories across all five Boroughs, the Photoville Festival has come to an official close in Brooklyn Bridge Park. All 60 exhibits that were part of our Photo Village in Emily Warren Roebling Plaza are coming down today.
But that doesn’t mean the Festival is over! In fact, we’ve extended exhibitions everywhere else! You can check out over 20 exhibits still remaining in local parks and other public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York.
We’re proud of the show that we’ve put together for our 14th year, and grateful to our marquee, major, education, community, exhibition and programming partners. Our partners helped the Photoville team make this 2025 festival not only possible, but an undeniable success.
To the artists, who graciously shared their courageous and thought-provoking photography with the public, we are sincerely grateful for your selfless work and voice.
We extend a thank you to our team, which includes everyone from the crew that installed the beautiful art to the team hosting the Photo Village to the folks designing the exhibits and those communicating with all of you around the world.
