Place where authors can present their solo exhibitions
EPA is dedicated to fostering connections between photographers, photo clubs, and galleries across Europe and the World.
Our platform serves as a dynamic hub where talented authors and vibrant photo clubs can showcase their work and exchange exhibitions.
Galleries can explore a rich array of captivating photo exhibitions, discovering new and intriguing artists and clubs to feature in their spaces.
Join us in celebrating the art of photography and building a vibrant community that thrives on collaboration and creativity.
The European Photo Association website is a place where authors can present their solo exhibitions, offering them to interested galleries, clubs, or other authors willing to provide exhibition space.
Joint/group exhibitions can also be offered by photo clubs or associations of photographers.
All exhibitions can be offered independently or in exchange. One club provides an exhibition to another club, which will reciprocate by organizing an exhibition at some point. The terms are mutually agreed upon by the clubs. Same is for authors and solo exhibitions.
This website is also a place where you can find a list of galleries from around the world that exhibit photographs in their spaces. Each gallery has a link leading to their website, which you can use for direct contact.
The European Photo Association will send galleries a link with new exhibitions that appear on the EPA website, thus promoting authors and clubs.
Every interested author can upload one exhibition of up to 30 photographs for free, and for each subsequent one, a symbolic fee must be paid.
The idea is for members of the European Photo Association to meet once a year in a different country and organize a joint exhibition where they can present their new works or exhibitions. Also, this meeting will be an opportunity to exchange ideas, knowledge, and lectures, as well as to make new contacts and connections between authors and clubs.
Currently, there is great interest in organizing the first EPA and members meeting at the Malinski Photo Festival in North Macedonia.
The website is now in the testing phase.
