Supporting local photography

Vantage Point Editions aims to support the work of local photographers while providing audiences with an opportunity to explore photographic practices across a broad range of approaches and perspectives.

The programme also reflects Sharjah Art Foundation’s ongoing commitment to creating platforms for artists and practitioners and to fostering spaces for learning, exchange and community engagement.

The initiative offers audiences opportunities to encounter and acquire photographic works while strengthening connections among photographers, art practitioners and collectors.
