Not only have we opted to turn up the heat this festival year. We’re basking in it with Photoville Festival 2022’s return to summer time — a first since 2012. We’re ecstatic about rolling out another year of exceptional photography from across the Globe. For 2022 — Photoville’s 11th consecutive year — we collaborated with an outstanding group of artists and programming partners to curate and present over 60 outdoor exhibitions in 20 locations across all five boroughs. Expect to experience such an array of visual narratives at Photoville Festival 2022, June 4-26.
Photoville Festival 2022 will kick off with an Opening Day Community Celebration in glorious Brooklyn Bridge Park on Saturday June 4, 2022. We will once again host artist-led walking tours, workshops, and opportunities for educators and students to connect with the Festival’s featured visual storytellers.

Antique Pink is a tribute to LGBTQIA+ elderly. Thanks to the emancipation struggle of the generations before us, LGBTQIA+ people in the Netherlands are almost equal before the law. But that acquired freedom is fragile, and the progress made will not automatically endure.
