About Summer Photography
L'Été Photographique: Art and Heritage in Lectoure
Since 1990, L'Été Photographique de Lectoure has been a must-attend event for contemporary photography in France. Organized by the Lectoure Center for Art and Photography, the festival presents a dozen exhibitions every summer in the heritage sites of this Gascon city.
A Dialogue Between Art and Heritage
The festival takes over public and private spaces in Lectoure: private mansions, chapels, gardens, vaulted cellars. This dialogue between contemporary works and historical architecture creates a unique experience for the visitor, who discovers the city while exploring current photographic practices.
International Artists
Each edition invites French and international artists to exhibit their work. The festival showcases the diversity of contemporary photography: reportage, portrait, landscape, installation, video, digital art. Artist residencies allow for the creation of specific works for the venues.
Events and Meetings
Conferences, guided tours, screenings, and meetings with artists complement the exhibition program. The festival also offers photography workshops for all audiences.
