Rotterdam Photo Festival
Rotterdam Photo celebrates the work of independent photographers in one of the many iconic public spaces in the city of Rotterdam.
Celebrating the artistic life of Rotterdam
Rotterdam Photo, organised by Daguerre Foundation and More Productions, takes place at the most apt location possible in the maritime Nieuwe Werk district of Rotterdam: Willemsplein. Located near Remastered, one of the most popular museums in Rotterdam and near the Erasmus Bridge, there will be many opportunities to snap your own photos. The festival also takes place during Art Rotterdam Week, drawing together many elements of the artistic life of Rotterdam.
Rotterdam Photo Festival
Rotterdam Photo transforms Willemsplein in the centre of Rotterdam into an urban photography village populated by over 60 shipping containers repurposed into exhibition spaces. In addition to exhibitions in, on and around the containers, Rotterdam Photo offers hands-on workshops, panel discussions, tents with vendors and a selection of food trucks with delicious food and drinks.
Rotterdam Photo is open to the public - all ages, dogs included - free of charge, making it unlike any other art fair during Art Week Rotterdam.
