Art Photo Bcn is a key meeting point for lovers of contemporary photography, hosted at the Disseny Hub Barcelona. More than a festival, it is a comprehensive platform that includes a fair, portfolio reviews, a market and a programme of activities and workshops. It brings together leading figures from across the field, fostering innovation, experimentation and new forms of photographic expression. Here, diverse perspectives come to light: sometimes familiar, sometimes unexpected, but always authentic.

This is good to know

Originally created to give emerging artists greater visibility, Art Photo Bcn has become almost a tradition: it is here that those who will later be shown in more ‘established’ art centres are first spotted.
In many respects, the festival mirrors the city that hosts it: youthful, slightly chaotic and critically aware. Photographs here are not merely displayed – they are debated, challenged and, for those who engage with them, genuinely transformative.
