The European Month of Photography is a network of European photo festivals. Its foundation goes back to 2004 when photography enthusiasts in Berlin, Paris and Vienna decided to put photographic art at the centre of public attention for a month at least every two years. In 2006 Bratislava, Moscow, Rome and Luxemburg joined the network, in 2012 Budapest and Ljubljana participated for the first time.
European Month of Photography network
The members of the European Month of Photography network aim to cooperate on a transnational, European level to exchange information and experiences, to learn and encourage creativity, and to support younger artists. Joint exhibitions of contemporary photography in the partner cities are the means for pursuing that common goal.
