The Seventh Year of Photoville Kicks Off in Brooklyn Bridge Park

The plaza under the Brooklyn Bridge has once again been transformed into a temporary photographic gallery with the return of Photoville to Brooklyn.

More than 65 shipping containers have been turned into galleries featuring the work of photographers from around the world. This year, more than 600 artists are featured along with a slate of workshops, demonstrations, panel discussions and other activities. The beer garden also makes a return, with food and drink from Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Brewery.

Photoville is open on Thursdays through Sundays from September 13 to 23 at Brooklyn Bridge Plaza in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The event is free and opens at 4 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Closing times and programs vary throughout the event, so for the full schedule check out Photoville’s site here.
