2026 Medium Festival
Pop-Up Image Makers Market
Part of the Medium Festival of Photography, bringing hundreds of photographers and art lovers together each year.
Saturday, March 28 | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
The Pop-Up Images Makers Market is a vibrant one-day marketplace celebrating photography and creative culture. Artists, publishers, arts organizations, and creative businesses gather to share work, connect with the community, and bring the photographic ecosystem to life.
Festival attendees can browse a curated selection of prints, photobooks, zines, analog tools, creative merchandise, and artist-made goods — all from people actively shaping the contemporary image-making world.
Come discover new artists, meet local creatives, and take home something special.
