Welcome to Madrid

Each summer, Madrid becomes a reference event for the world of visual arts and photography.  With exhibitions in the main museums, halls and art galleries, as well as diverse activities related to the chosen theme each year, 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 programme is divided into two sections: the Official Section and the Off Festival, at which several awards will be presented, recognising the work of some of the participating artists. Numerous museums and exhibition halls will be taking part in these sections, with the aim of promoting and developing the market for photography. The best photobook proposals can be seen at the PHE Gallery, the permanent headquarters of the Festival.

Various centres in Madrid will host the activities of the new edition, such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes, Matadero Madrid, ICO Museum, Casa Árabe, Lázaro Galdiano Museum, Cerralbo Museum, Royal Botanical Garden, Canal de Isabel II of the Region of Madrid Exhibition Hall, Museum of Romanticism and CentroCentro, among others.
