Paris Photo, the largest international art fair dedicated to the photographic medium, is now accepting gallery and publisher applications for the 22nd edition at the historic Grand Palais in Paris Thursday, November 8 through Sunday, November 11 with a preview day on Wednesday, November 7 (by invitation only).

The Fair will bring together over 180 exhibitors from across the world, offering collectors and enthusiasts the most diverse and qualitative presentation of photography-driven projects today. Leading galleries will showcase historical and contemporary artworks from modern masters to emerging artists; specialized publishers and art book dealers will present unique and rare editions, book launches and artist signature sessions with today's greatest names.

Main Sector Galleries present a complete panorama of artworks with a special emphasis on solo, duo shows, and thematic projects offering visitors the opportunity to discover and rediscover leading artists through the viewing of important artistic ensemble.

PRISMES is a curated sector bringing together galleries showcasing 14 exceptional large-format, series, and installation projects exploring the photographic medium in its most diverse forms and practices. The sector is located in the prestigious Salon d’Honneur atop the majestic central staircase of Grand Palais.

Curiosa, a new thematic sector, will feature for this inaugural edition, photographic artworks focusing on the theme of eroticism in photography; differing aesthetic, social and historical roles as well as cultural misappropriations and divergences. With the complicity of its exhibitors, a selection of projects exploring this concept, which is both plural and universal, will be unveiled in an intimate atmosphere on the main floor under the balcony of the Salon d'Honneur.

Applications for Main Sector Galleries and the Book Sector are available online through Tuesday, April 10.
Applications for the PRISMES and Curiosa Sectors are available online through Wednesday, May 30.
