Contact Photography Festival 2011: Figure & Ground

The month of May, May 1 – 31, is Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival. This annual festival of photography in Toronto, Ontario, Canada has over 1000 local, national and international artists exhibiting at more than 200 venues.

Contact started 15 years ago as a non-profit organization that celebrated, and fostered the art and profession of photography, and has grown to become the largest photography event in the world, and a premiere cultural event in Canada.
