Breda Photo Fair
2nd International Photo Fair

From the 23rd to 25th of September 2005 Breda Photo Fair will be
presenting an international company of photo gallery's, art
photographs, publishers and specialized antiquarian book dealers.
Breda Photo Fair forms part of the photo festival Breda Photo 2005.

A great number of cultural activities take place throughout the year
under the late gothic arches of "Onze Lieve Vrouwen" church - the
most beautiful building of Breda. Breda Photo Fair has chosen this
magnificent location to organize the 2nd International Photo Fair, an
unique event in the Benelux whereby quality and diversity are of the
highest priority. The set-up of the fair is professional and luxurious
and is managed by the same organisation as the antique fair "Antiqui
Breda".

Ambitions
The ambitions are high. Breda Photo Fair will develop into an event
that can meets the same level as the photo fairs in London, Paris,
Cologne and New York.

Interest
The national and international interest in photography is growing.
Museums often buy photo collections, the number of private individuals
that collect art photos is rising and an increasing number of
gallery's specialise in art photography. Breda Photo Fair will
therefore host a number national and international galleries.

Since the development of photography as an art form many devoted
publishers and designers have published expensive and rare photo
books. Breda Photo Fair will host a selective group of publishers and
dealers in rare book.

New talent
Besides national and international photo galleries, independent art
photographers are invited to present themselves to the public and the
professional photo galleries. Before the application to attend the
fair is approved the collection of the photographer is subject to
inspection by an independent vetting committee. An additional
condition is that the photographer is not represented by a national or
international photo gallery.

Breda Photo 2005
Breda Photo Fair forms part of the festival Breda Photo 2005. In 2003
the festival received a lot of national and international publicity.
With the title ‘Imaginary Beauty' Breda Photo 2005 starts on the 17th
of September and closes five weeks later on the 23rd of October. A
series of exhibitions in the "Beyerd", Breda's Museum and "Lokaal 01"
will focus on this theme. Besides that there are many smaller
exhibitions spread over several locations within the boundaries of the
city.

The heart of the festival is the Photo Hall which offers an
experimental program: short exhibitions, lectures, workshops,
performances, links with other disciplines and meetings with
photographers and photo collectors. As in 2003 an "Amateur Weekend"
and "Youth Project" will be held. A close cooperation is established
with the photo museum in Rotterdam and Antwerp. Information is
