In September 2026, to mark the bicentennial of photography, the LUX Network—which brings together 33 festivals and fairs across France—will present a major group exhibition at the Maison des Arts in Créteil.

Following its inaugural edition in 2024 at a former Parisian post office, the LUX Network is partnering this time with the Maison des Arts in Créteil, alongside its 33 members, including the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles, Paris Photo, and the Festival Circulation(s). Each organization presents a different format—an exhibition, a screening, or a specific project—offering a glimpse into the diversity and vitality of contemporary photographic creation. Unique in France for its regional roots and collective approach, the LUX Network champions photography that is vibrant, accessible, and directly connected to both artists and audiences. With 200LUX Expo, it has created a multi-voiced exhibition based on sharing, cooperation, and experimentation.

Held in Créteil, in the heart of Greater Paris, the exhibition is open to everyone and aims to bring photography closer to today’s realities. Throughout the exhibition, the public can enjoy talks, workshops, tours, and festive events.
