Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal (MPM) is the leading international contemporary photography biennial in Canada. Since its beginnings in 1989, MPM produces a unique and exciting opportunity to discover the latest trends in photography, video and lens-based art. For each edition, roughly 30 artists are proposed by the guest curator around a single theme and presented in 15 venues across Montreal. The exhibitions are complemented by a major publication, an international colloquium, the Dazibao Prize, a portfolio review, as well as a series of artist talks, video projections, workshops and guided tours for all ages.
Over the years, the biennial programming has demonstrated artistic and intellectual rigor, while remaining accessible to a wide audience. As one of the major cultural events of the city, MPM contributes to Montreal’s cultural vibrancy as a must-see destination.
Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal is a non-profit organization recognized as a charity by Canada Revenue Agency. MPM is a member of Festivals et Événements Québec, Tourisme Montréal and Festival of Light.
