Open-Air Gallery

France’s largest open-air photo festival once again takes place in La Gacilly, Brittany, from June 1 to October 1, 2023. Hundreds of large-format prints will be exhibited on the facades of the traditional stone houses that characterise the idyllic village, which has a population of just 2000 inhabitants.

To mark the festival’s 20th anniversary, this year’s edition is dedicated to the topic of ‘Natural Heritage’ – emphasising the festival’s mission to advocate for a more just and sustainable world. The artists who have been represented at La Gacilly over the past twenty years have been pioneers in this field: with their talent, vision and perspectives, they have been able to share their message about the social and ecological challenges of our time with more than 4 million people.

The festival is unique – not only in that it takes place in a village, rather than a major city, but also because it transforms La Gacilly into an open gallery for several weeks each year.

Admission to the festival is free.
