Auckland Festival of Photography

"Auckland Festival of Photography is New Zealand's leading international photographic art & cultural Festival held across Auckland galleries, project + public spaces.

The Festival serves as a gathering of cultural exchange for visual storytellers, lens-based artists, educators, students, and anyone passionate about the art form, to connect with a large and diverse audience and share lived experiences, stories, and dynamic creativity.

Our joint programme model has been in place since 2004, allowing for full creative freedoms with work presented by artists, curators, groups and dealer galleries based in New Zealand. The Festival offers an inclusive platform for creative freedom that allows independence to choose how and where they showcase their work.

Vision - Photography Connecting Communities and People"
