I know personally, as both a photographer and gallery owner, how much these initiatives can grow your career.

Because there is nothing more frustrating than hearing about an opportunity when you've already missed out.

To avoid the disappointment, I built a database listing all the major photography festivals and art fairs each year.

There are now over 200 global events in this Notion database.

It includes all the major photography festivals, photography specific art fairs, as well as photo book fairs and festivals.

You can filter the list by location (continent, country, city), and when in the year (which month) each event starts.

Not all events are the same, so I've highlighted which include portfolio reviews, open calls, and talks programmes.

Once a month the database is updated with new information. There is a change log noting the latest updates.

If there is an event I've missed which you'd like me to include, let me know so I can add it to the list.

The database is available for free.

All you need to do is enter your email below and you will have access this resource.

I am sure this will be as valuable for you as it has been for me.
