Festival OFF Arles is a major event for anyone passionate about visual creation. It offers a free and inclusive space for artistic expression.
Running alongside the Drawing Festival and the Rencontres d’Arles, the OFF energizes the local cultural scene with an eclectic program: exhibitions, screenings, workshops and events unfold across the city.
A true artistic laboratory, the OFF encourages experimentation and dialogue around contemporary image-making, turning Arles into a creative playground — open to everyone, and entirely free.
Beyond the frame, countless perspectives: the 2025 Festival OFF Arles showcased a photography that is bold, free, and socially engaged, driven by artists from across the globe.
Galleries, collectives, hybrid spaces, alternative venues…
Arles pulsed with audacious proposals: exhibitions, artist talks, urban installations, and events that pushed the boundaries of the image.
Alongside the Photo OFF, Drawing OFF continued to expand the festival’s artistic horizon , embracing a broader vision of visual creation where disciplines and formats collide.
A massive thank you to everyone who made this edition a true celebration of creative freedom and diversity of viewpoints!
