2020

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Photoville adjusted to this new reality with creativity and flexibility. Photoville Festival 2020 combined online gatherings and dispersed outdoor exhibitions, with talks, workshops, and community events taking place online.

500,000 visitors engaged with our public exhibitions in the five boroughs,  showcasing the incredible work of over 250 artists, collaborating with partners including The New York Times, National Geographic, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Abrons Arts Center, TIME, and more.

Even though there were no in-person event gatherings or container exhibitions, adapting the festival format, allowed our audiences to safely enjoy all of our exhibitions and programming while continuing to meet the needs of our local and global photo communities.

Working with parks and city officials to safely install exhibition banners throughout parks and public spaces in NYC, 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 2020 Festival included 30 online talks, workshops, and special events presented with and by artists and industry professionals.

Over the month of October, 230 educators participated in our Educator Labs and Coffee Hours, while more than 740 students across NYC (Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn), across the country (California, Virginia, North Carolina), and across the globe (Kenya and Guatemala) attended virtual field trips meeting artists and hearing from young photographers.
