FotoFest, the international photographic arts and learning organization, makes very big things happen, and almost every one of those things are offered free of charge to the public. Our exhibitions, programs, the FotoFest Biennial, and Literacy Through Photography learning program use photography as a tool for social engagement, community enrichment, cultural exchange, and life-long learning. Our programs directly benefit thousands of schoolchildren, artists, community members, and visitors from Houston and beyond. FotoFest occupies an exceptional, dynamic space in our culture, creating important platforms for engagement with art and ideas.

The FotoFest Biennial presents important contemporary photographic and new media work from around the world, leading a citywide cultural focus on photography, and garnering press from local, national, and international outlets, including The New York Times and Art in America. FotoFest’s Literacy Through Photography learning program, which works to improve students’ writing, comprehension, and expression works in over 90 Houston-area classrooms, the majority serving low-income neighborhoods.

From helping FotoFest produce its ambitious exhibitions and programs, to enabling our learning program to equip students with confidence and cameras to create works of art that stimulate their development, your support makes a difference. Please take a moment to make a tax-deductible contribution to help us achieve our mission.
