Although the festival initially started with the idea of federating a few key institutions in Luxembourg around the promotion of contemporary photography, it has grown in the meantime to such extent that it encompass almost all the institutions in the country. Luxembourg’s state and city institutions like the Museum of Modern Art Grand-Duc Jean (Mudam), the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA), Casino Luxembourg – Forum of contemporary art, Neumünster Abbey (Centre de rencontre Neimënster), Cercle-Cité exhibition space, the Villa Vauban are regular partners. Private art galleries (Nosbaum & Reding, Fellner contemporary, Valerius, Reuter-Bausch ) are also more or less regular participants. Outside the capital, the Centre national de l’audiovisuel (CNA) in Dudelange, the town gallery Nei Liicht regularly hold exhibitions during the European Month of Photography. The city of Clervaux – hosting Edward Steichen’s Family of Man exhibition – participates with a programm of its own through its association Clervaux, Cité de l’Image. The art center of the city of Ettelbruck ( CAP ) as well as the new Konschthal Esch ( art space Esch) are occasional participants.
The European Month of Photography also periodically joins with the Arsenal exhibition space in Metz (France / Lorraine) , Beda art space of Bitburg (Germany) and most recently the Europäische Kunstakademie Trier ( Germany ).
