Pôle Image Haute-Normandie is an organisation supporting film, audiovisual art and photography. It has an experimental nature and develops innovative practices, often through national and European collaborations.

The photography department of Pôle Image Haute-Normandie aims to disseminate contemporary and historical photography/heritage in the region of Haute-Normandy. The department takes part in networking activities and supports and invites artists working in the region, curating exhibitions in their gallery and other venues or outdoors. An important part of its mission is to preserve a number of photographic collections about the region. Through exhibitions and publications these archives are presented to the public.

At 15, Rue de la Chaîne in Rouen, Pôle Image runs a gallery space. Pôle Image also offers an educational program for schools and residencies for foreign artists who are invited to produce a series of works on the Upper Normandy region around themes concerning landscapes or social issues. Furthermore, there’s an exchange program with Germany and Finland.
