The 20/20 Photo Festival will be taking place again in September 2022 in Philadelphia and online. With the theme Community; 20/20 is a unique, citywide celebration of photography in all of its forms. The festival will function within a local, national, and international context, reflecting the diversity of contemporary photography and how can bring communities together. Exhibitions and programming, designed for both photographers and the general public, will provide opportunities for the exchange of ideas and artistic expression.
About the Festival

Photo West Gallery is an exhibition space that offers Philadelphia area photographers an opportunity to engage diverse audiences by showing their work in a salon-like setting. Its openings the second Friday of each month coincide with University City's Left of Center program. Exhibitions are intended to encourage lively and concentrated interactions where poets and performing artists are part of the mix to make photo openings a place where art boundaries are crossed. Teachers at local high schools are invited to bring their students on 2nd Fridays to meet the exhibiting artists and learn more about the works on display.
Photo West Gallery is just west of Drexel University and north of the University of Pennsylvania, on the Lancaster Avenue edge of Powelton Village, a neighborhood rich in artists, performers, and residents engaged in Philadelphia's cultural and community life.
