The fair is a pivotal event for art world professionals and photography lovers. Under the new artistic direction of Francesca Malgara, it is set to take place in Milan from April 10th to 14th 2024 at the new, central location of Allianz MiCo.

The fil rouge of the 2024 edition is 'Changing'. Changing means searching an alternative to the situation of stagnation and general crisis that affect the personal, political, and economic spheres worldwide in our times.

The 2024 edition will be showcasing a variety of sections: the Main section, with a selection of leading, long-established galleries presenting their best photography perspectives; Beyond Photography - Dialogue, curated by Domenico de Chirico, dedicated to comparing photography with other media; Reportage Beyond Reportage, curated by Emanuela Mazzonis di Pralafera, highlighting the different nuances of reportage, whether documentary photography, photojournalism or street photography; a special country focus curated by Rischa Paterlini that looks into the encounter between East and West.

The fair also features sponsored awards such as the BNL BNP Paribas Award, an acquisition prize which enhances the Banks’s art collection and the Fiere di Parma Fund dedicated to purchasing a selection of works exhibited at the MIA Fair.

In 2023 there were 122 participating exhibitors from Italy and abroad, 10 specialized publishers, 6 media partners, 8 special projects, 12 conferences, 5 prizes and more than 500 artists on an exhibition area of 7,000 square meters.

MIA Photo Fair offers art collectors the chance to enjoy a lively and innovative art event from a unique standpoint which embraces both established and emerging artists.
