Each summer, Madrid becomes a reference for the world of visual arts and photography. With exhibitions in leading museums, halls and art galleries, as well as diverse activities related to each year’s chosen theme, PHotoESPAÑA offers the possibility to discover the latest tendencies in photographic art, as well as the latest projects by the most internationally renowned artists. The latest edition will be held from May to September 2027 (dates to be confirmed), hosting many exhibitions by photographers and visual artists.
PHotoESPAÑA offers the possibility to discover the latest tendencies in photographic art as well as the recent projects by the most internationally renowned artists. Its first edition was held in June 1998 with the main objective of giving photography a relevant place in public institutions and raising awareness of the work of galleries.
As usual, the programme is divided into two sections: the Official Section and the Off Festival, awarding different prizes to recognise the work of some of the participating artists. Numerous museums and exhibition halls will take part in these sections in order to boost the promotion and development of the photographic market.
The OFF Festival will confirm the role of art galleries as essential players in the artistic ecosystem. This section not only showcases photography, but also positions it as a collectible and marketable art form, attracting new audiences and professionals. The PHE Circuit will broaden the Festival’s horizons with an open-minded and constantly evolving approach.
