INVEST IN STORYTELLING THAT BUILDS COMMUNITY
Your support helps us continue to:
- Create and sustain paid opportunities for artists and educators
- Produce free and accessible public art, worldwide and year-round
- Curate and produce free educational, professional, and community programs for visual artists, students, and educators
This year, Photoville — like many arts organizations — has felt the impact of shrinking federal support for the arts. The loss of NEA funding this year created new financial pressures, but our commitment to real, powerful and accessible storytelling remains unwavering. Your donation helps sustain this work when it’s needed most.
Your 100% tax-deductible donation ensures that stories that matter continue to reach anyone, anywhere.
Free, accessible & impactful public art
This year, alongside another successful edition of the annual Photoville Festival, we curated and produced over 130 free and accessible public art exhibitions throughout NYC and worldwide! Partnering with more than 100 organizations globally, we remain committed to amplifying diverse voices and championing visual storytelling that connects and inspires communities everywhere.
Paid opportunities for artists & educators
In 2025, Photoville continued to support artists by providing paid opportunities to create and showcase their work. We exhibited the projects of over 600 artists across our public programs, and produced the 13th edition of the New York Portfolio Review, a free, career-building event that connected 160 photographers with leading editors, curators, and publishers. At the Photoville Festival, we also offered free professional development programming, supporting artists at every stage of their careers.
Education & development programming for all
Photoville Edu provides year-round programming to engage young people and educators with visual storytelling through workshops, resources, and field trips. Whether we’re bringing artists into the classroom, taking the classroom outdoors, or showcasing student work, we’re dedicated to inspiring young people through the power of visual storytelling while equipping educators with the tools and opportunities to do the same.
