PHOTO FESTIVAL UNION - The
Union of European Festivals of Photography - French
version
PHOTO
FESTIVAL UNION
is a new association for European festivals of photography that
will be established in September 2005. The idea of the organization
comes from the Foundation of Visual Education in Poland. The main
motivation for establishing the Union is the exchange of the information
between associated events. Furthermore, the Union would like to
be a point for wide cooperation within organizing exhibitions, lectures,
workshops, slide-shows and portfolio reviews.
Next
important issue is promotion of the festivals through common website
( www.festivalunion.com
), mailing list and newsletters. The website is a comprehensive
and updated base presenting not only Photo Festival Union association
itself but, above all, achievements and plans of particular members.
We can also see here the way of promotion of young artists. It helps
spreading knowledge on photography and other visual creations, especially
by annual thematical album and exhibitions.
Among
the members of Photo Festival Union there are 28 biggest international
festivals of photography in Europe. It joins people and institutions
with the same goals and values and gives its members possibility
to meet experienced organizers and curators from other countries,
to share experience and new ideas.
