America’s Largest Photography biennial FotoFocus Week: October 4 to 7.

FotoFocus is a Cincinnati-based non-profit arts organization that collaborates to present and support photography and lens-based projects that are accessible, enriching, and engaging to a diverse public. Since 2010, the organization has engaged art and educational institutions throughout the region to support and expand the cultural dialogue around the medium that has come to define our time.

FotoFocus Biennial is one of the signature programming of FotoFocus. This year the FotoFocus-curated exhibitions are Mamma Andersson, Akram Zaatari, No Two Alike, Paris to New York, Chris Engman, and Wide Angle. 2018 marks the first year the Biennial is taking over every floor of the Contemporary Arts Center.
