Art Photo BCN is a contemporary photography festival based in Barcelona, with a mission to connect photographers, industry professionals, collectors, and the general public by creating a space to explore, discover, and enjoy the image in all its forms. Since its inception in 2014, Art Photo BCN has established itself as a leading platform in the field of photography and photographic publishing in Spain, expanding exhibition and visibility opportunities for both emerging and established artists and publishers.
Each edition of Art Photo BCN features a photography fair, photobook market, portfolio reviews, and an extensive program of free activities. In addition, our commitment to accessibility and participation is reflected in a carefully curated selection of exhibitors and projects that showcase the diversity and richness of contemporary photography, addressing themes that resonate on both local and global levels.
The festival, led by a team of professionals with experience in the art and photography world, aims to be a meeting place where the public can engage closely with the artists, discover new voices and trends, and explore photography in an open and inclusive environment. With a growing and evolving trajectory each year, Art Photo BCN continues to solidify Barcelona as a key hub in the international photographic landscape.
