ProfiFoto, in cooperation with WhiteWall, is offering photographers the chance to exhibit their images from July 3-14, 2022, as part of the off-program of the internationally renowned photo festival Rencontres d'Arles 2023.

The theme of the group exhibition is the official motto of the festival: A STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. The call-for-entries closes on May 15.

Arles offers, as every year, in addition to the official program, a variety of exhibitions and events in the unofficial program of 2023, with more than 100 exhibitions. The opening week will take place from July 3 to 9.
