What is the OFF?
The OFF brings together exhibitions presented alongside the official festival. It allows independent venues, curators, galleries, and collectives to take part in the festival’s momentum by presenting their own exhibition within a shared program.
To participate, you must have an exhibition space in Arles or its surroundings and submit your application via the online form.
The next registration period for the Photography OFF will take place on May 5, 2026.

What is the purpose of membership?
Membership in the OFF helps directly fund its organization:

- the graphic design of the program
- the printing of the program
- communication (website, social media, etc.)

It thus ensures the quality, visibility, and coherence of the entire program.
