First Look Membership

Explore the world of photography, art, and ideas with FotoFest

When you become a member of FotoFest First Look, you join a special group of people who care about the arts and are eager to see, experience, and learn about photography and new media arts!

FotoFest is not only the longest-running international Biennial of photography and new media art in the United States; throughout the year, we exhibit contemporary and historical photography and photo-related art by local, national and international artists, fostering cross-cultural exchange.

Joining the First Look program provides you with priority access to exhibition receptions and tours, open portfolio events, artists’ salons, visits to private collections, group visits to galleries and museums, travel programs and collecting opportunities.
