Athens Photo Festival 2024

Athens Photo Festival is now accepting submissions from artists and photographers for its exhibition program. The selected works will be on view from 4 June to 28 July, at the Benaki Museum / Pireos 138, one of the most prestigious museums in Greece. The Festival will feature the work of over 100 artists from all over the world, selected through this international open call. Exploring a variety of cultural, artistic, social, and political perspectives, the festival is dedicated to providing a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas, artistic expression, and engagement with photography and visual culture. The Festival invites projects from the entire spectrum of the photographic medium, ranging from fine art, conceptual, documentary photography, and photojournalism to other media, including video, performance, and installation. In this way, we seek to create a critical dialogue that embraces a variety of expressive means, thematic areas, and approaches – from a traditional photography background to the most contemporary practices. The main program will occupy all the exhibition spaces of the Benaki Museum / Pireos 138, covering over 3,000 square meters. In addition to the exhibitions, at the core of the Festival, is a multi-layered program of events and initiatives, including educational activities, networking and talent development opportunities, community outreach, and a variety of public programs.
