The Auckland Festival of Photography is a signature visual arts event that treasures a city abundant with great photographic talent. This fast growing annual festival programmes a multitude of exhibitions and events, encouraging more people to celebrate the art of photography through free public access. Photography is a powerful visual art form that the Festival celebrates with CULTURE, IDENTITY, ART and PARTICIPATION events. The festival celebrates photography which reflects the vital personality of Auckland and invites all residents and visitors to experience this through the lens of the camera.
