Polish photography festival

Krakow Photomonth is a photography festival in Kraków, Poland, organised by the Foundation for Visual Arts, that was established in 2001. Until 2022 it was an annual event, after which it is to be a biennial event held in even years. It is usually held for a month from the end of May until the end of June.

Description

The festival has for example had a main programme of four key exhibitions under a loose theme. It has held exhibitions at venues ranging from major art museums to small cafes and eateries. The main programme has included portfolio reviews by Polish and international critics, artists and publishers, as well as workshops, film screenings, book launches and discussions. A section presents new projects by emerging photographers. The Krakow Photo Fringe adds satellite exhibitions and events dotted around the city centre.
