80 galleries from 12 different countries worldwide, with 230 artists, 15 specialized publishers and 20 independent artists: these are the figures of the sixth edition of MIA Photo Fair 2016, whom The PhotoPhore partners with.
The fair is dedicated to art photography, conceived and directed by Fabio Castelli and due to be held at The Mall, at the new business district of Porta Nuova, Milan, from Thursday April 28th, inauguration day by invitation only, to Monday May 2nd, 2016.
After the success of the 2015 edition (with over 22,000 visitors), MIA Photo Fair has decided to extend the period of the fair, which now welcomes visitors from Thursday until Monday. In addition to its established arrangement, characterised by the participation of galleries with their collective exhibitions and monographic projects, the fair also features Proposta MIA, in which a selection of photographers present their work individually.
For the fifth year running, MIA Photo Fair renews its collaboration with BNL BNP Paribas Group, the main sponsor of the event. Again in 2016, therefore, a qualified jury will be assigning the BNL BNP Paribas Group Award to photographers exhibiting in the fair with their own galleries.
Under the patronage of Regione Lombardia, the Metropolitan City of Milan and Comune di Milano, MIA Photo Fair is supported by its main sponsors BNL BNP Paribas Group and Lavazza and by the sponsor Eberhard & Co.
