ABOUT
Photopolis: The Halifax Festival of Photography is a city wide celebration of photography that takes place in Halifax, Nova Scotia every three years. We are a volunteer run, non-profit, community based arts organization. We invite photo-based artists, curators, galleries and alternative exhibition spaces to showcase photography work anytime during the entire month of October. Our last festival took place in October, 2017.
Established in 1998, Photopolis is now preparing for its sixth festival! The Photopolis Society works collaboratively with photographers, photo-based artists and groups, from local to international and emerging to established, along with participating venues such as galleries, community organizations and coffee shops to present photography to the public for an entire month of enjoyment. Photopolis aims to feature a wide variety of photography during the festival including photojournalism, social and travel documentary, environmental, conceptual, formalism, staged photography and more. The Photopolis festival provides a unique opportunity to engage with different approaches photographers and photo-based artists take to explore and examine diverse realities, broadening our insights and perspectives.
In 2014, Photopolis featured 35 photography exhibitions, over 40 events (exhibit openings, artist talks, workshops, film screenings) and a photography symposium! Click here to see a listing of all the wonderful supporters, exhibitors and venues that made the 2014 festival happen!
2017 BOARD MEMBERS
Wilma Needham (President), Frankie Macaulay (Coordinator), Peter Dykhuis, Lorraine Field, Adrian Fish, Nora Macnee, Sharon Murray, Laurel Rath and Roxanne Smith.
