Louisville Photo Biennial 2023

The Photo Biennial, Louisville’s premier photographic festival, will be taking place in Louisville, Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana from September 8 through November 12, 2023. Embracing local, national and international photography, this festival offers workshops, competitions, public discussions and exhibitions at more 50 different venues celebrating artistic excellence in the medium. The Photo Biennial represents a cooperative effort among regional museums, galleries, universities and other public places. This festival gives the public an opportunity to learn about photography from historical and traditional images to present day contemporary work and from the global to the local, opening up meaningful dialogue and helping to bridge understanding in our diverse world.

The festival is happy to welcome photographer, author and filmmaker Lawrence Schiller as the Keynote Speaker and guest of honor. Best known as a photographer for his work with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Robert F. Kenndy, Richard Nixon, Muhammad Ali, and Barbra Streisand, Schiller also had his hand in many iconic movies including “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, “Lady Sings the Blues” and the Oscar winning documentary, “The Man Who Skied Down Everest”. He also embedded himself in the ‘Dream Team’ defense at the O.J. Simpson murder trial and co-wrote the bestseller, American Tragedy about the experience.

The Keynote will take place at The Speed Art Museum on September 21 beginning at 5:30pm. The Paul Paletti Gallery will feature a show of Mr. Schiller’s work, “Celebrity”, from August 31-September 29.
