Filter Photo is a nonprofit festival, exhibition, and educational space in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. We organize the annual Filter Photo Festival, a multi-day celebration of photography that includes workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and portfolio reviews.
Join us at Filter Space year-round where we exhibit a robust roster of internationally recognized artists and host social, educational, and professional development activities for photo-based artists and the broader community.
2023 FILTER PHOTO FESTIVAL PORTFOLIO REVIEWS

Participants sign up for twenty-minute face-to-face reviews and receive candid feedback about their images, as well as information on getting their work exhibited and published. We are thrilled to have so many of our attendees walk away with connections that have led to exhibitions, publications, and the indispensable opportunity to network with their peers.
Registration opens on May 25th for Filter Photo Members and on June 1st for the general public.
