No I'm not, but I wish I was.

I have enjoyed reading Roger W. Hicks' stories of Arles, he really makes me want to go.

Alas, it is very far from my budget.

B/W them this year - Arles in Black

I was there for the opening week. Altogether no special place for large format photographiers, a lot of digital trash in the projections, in the portefolio viewings maybe were 20% fine art. But in the exhibitions was some real jewellery, my favourites:

Jean- Michel Fauquet (!!!)
Gilbert Garcin (Monsieur Bricolage) (!!!)
Arno Rafael Minkkinen
Lauren Bon

I suppose, they all will have websites, so I spare descriptions.
May be I missed some of the 50 exhibitions, that were in the town, often in historical buildings.
And budget(Randy)? Expensive, but not more than New York. You can sleep for 50€ a night and eat for 15€ from market.
My favorite restaurant: la Boheme, 6 Rue Balze, Cuisine mediterranee traditionelle
