Photoville

Celebrating 15 Years of Photoville!

Don’t miss our 15th annual festival!

We are gearing up for our 15th anniversary festival in 2026, and we cannot wait to see what you will bring. With the steadfast support of our longtime partners — Brooklyn Bridge Park, NYC Parks, and a vibrant network of cultural institutions and public spaces across the city — Photoville remains a platform for photographers, educators, and curators from around the world to share powerful visual stories that connect and inspire. 

Our Photo Village will be returning to Brooklyn Bridge Park – with additional open-air exhibitions in NYC Parks, and other NYC cultural institutions and public spaces throughout the five boroughs. 

Submitters will be notified of their status by March 2026.

Festival FAQ

What will the photo village look like?

Just like in 2025, we will have our classic shipping containers in Brooklyn Bridge Park, joined by open-air photo exhibits and activations. On opening weekend, the village will host a range of programs (artist talks, workshops, screenings and more).

Will there be exhibitions in all five boroughs again this year?

Yes! In addition to our Brooklyn Bridge Park photo village, we will be partnering with NYC Parks and other NYC cultural institutions and public spaces to exhibit open air installations.

Photoville is proudly presented in partnership with our Marquee Partners:
