Filter Photo Festival
@ 21c Museum Hotel
55 E Ontario St, Chicago, IL 60611
On view through Sunday, September 18th
Filter Photo Festival is a multi-day celebration of photography that takes place every autumn in Chicago. The 2022 Festival will be held September 14 – 18 and will be primarily in-person at the 21C Museum Hotel, centrally located downtown in proximity to museums, galleries and other cultural institutions.
Programming includes workshops, portfolio reviews, lectures, and artist talks. Additionally, exhibitions will be hosted at Filter Space gallery in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood.
Portfolio reviews are a central element of the Festival. During a portfolio review, an artist is able to share work directly with local, national, and international photography professionals, including gallery directors, curators, editors, and publishers. Emerging and established photographers are welcome to sign up for these twenty-minute, one-on-one sessions.
