Brussels Street Photograhpy Festival 2016

The Brussels Street Photography Festival (BSPF) will open on Friday, October 28, 2016 from 19:00 at Galerie Ravenstein in the centre of Brussels.

The program of the BSPF looks to explore street photography around different cultural events such as exhibitions, talks, lectures, round-tables, photo walks, portfolio critiques and workshops. The main exhibition for the BSPF will show the work of the selected finalists from the contests‘ entries. There will be also a secondary exhibition featuring some of the work of the BSPF guests.

Both exhibitions will be open to all public for FREE at Galerie Ravenstein, Brussels and will be running from Friday 28th October (19:00) until Friday 11th November 2016.

All main activities (exhibitions, parties, talks, key notes, discussion panels and photo walks) are free and open to the public. Workshops and portfolio critiques require a fee. These activities will be happening from Wednesday 26th October until Wednesday 2nd November 2016.  For the talks, key notes and discussion panels visitors are advised to come in advance since there is a limited space on the venues.

Photo walks require RSVP and are for a maximum of 6 people. All photo walks leave from the venue 4041.

Please notice that this program is subject to change and will regularly be updated with more details of the activities. We recommend you checking out the official program page for more details, latest updates and RSVP:
