Photoville (formerly United Photo Industries) amplifies visual storytellers and connects them to a worldwide diverse audience through its free photo festival and year-round activation of public spaces and educational community programming.
Returning for its 12th consecutive year, the annual Photoville Festival is excited to feature the return of our Photoville Village in Brooklyn Bridge Park with some of our classic shipping containers, in addition to open-air exhibitions throughout all five boroughs of New York City.
Our Education and Community partnership, now in its 5th year, includes the Festival’s Education Day with field trips to the Festival stomping grounds in Brooklyn Bridge Park, engaging conversations with professional artists, and a series of lively youth artist panel talks known as the Youth Artist Exchange, all tailored to middle and high school students.
The partnership will also for the 6th year be documenting Photoville talks. It has also supported professional development days for teachers to design curriculum, educator grants, community-building family photography evenings, student photo-field trips, Educator’s Coffee Hours,Teaching Artist Microgrants, and redesign of the Photoville website and archive.
