The FotoFest Fine Print Auction offers a curated selection of museum-quality prints on an exceptional night that invigorates our understanding of contemporary photography.
FotoFest organizes this live benefit auction as its principal fundraiser only once every two years. By invitation from the FotoFest Executive Director, artists who have participated in our Biennials, exhibitions, and programs are asked to donate their artwork. Many of these artists have works in the Biennial 2024 Critical Geography central exhibition.
FotoFest takes pride in ensuring only the highest quality of work is showcased by thoughtfully selecting each artist and print, giving special attention to skill and cultural impact. With this measure of artistic integrity, the FotoFest Fine Print Auction presents leading artists who hail from major international centers of artistic production, enabling collectors to acquire some of the most outstanding artwork that FotoFest has supported.
Revenue from print sales and table sponsorships directly supports FotoFest Biennials, exhibitions, public programming, professional development programs for artists, and the Literacy Through Photography curriculum, serving thousands of Houston-area students annually.
