PHOTO IRELAND FESTIVAL COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

PhotoIreland Festival Company Limited by Guarantee is the charitable organisation behind Ireland's premier International Festival of Photography and Image Culture. Each July the festival lights up a variety of venues across Dublin, presenting a vibrant, friendly and all-inclusive programme that celebrates Irish photographic talent while welcoming leading international artists, curators and scholars.

The festival's core offering comprises ambitious, guest-curated exhibitions, a bustling art-book fair, public talks and online events that encourage critical engagement with photography. Through initiatives such as the Critical Academy, New Irish Works, The Library Project and the Museum of Contemporary Photography of Ireland, PhotoIreland provides emerging and mid-career photographers with research resources, professional development and a platform for new work. Long-standing partnerships with bodies such as the Arts Council of Ireland, Dublin City Council and European networks (Flâneur, Futures, Parallel Platform) amplify the festival's reach and help Irish artists gain international exposure.

By continually reinventing its format, PhotoIreland Festival serves photographers, curators, scholars and the wider public, fostering a dynamic community that values both creative experimentation and cultural dialogue.
