If you are a photographer, either novice or pro OR you are interested in the relative art of photography, you must add this to your calendars for the month of May. The 16th annual CONTACT Photography Festival is the the largest photography event in the world! Toronto is hosting this years event which attracts over 1.8 million people over the entire month of May.
You’ll see over 1000 local and worldwide artists exhibiting their photographic genius at almost 200 venues.
This all began over 16 years ago when a global interest in street art started to form, which is the theme for this year’s event, entitled “PUBLIC” which showcases social and political issues all in a photographic framework, literally.
