About the Passport

The Biennial Passport offers free access to over 100 FotoFocus Biennial projects and programs during the month of October, invitations to members-only events, and entry into the FotoFocus Biennial Opening Weekend Program (September 26-28), which features a keynote lecture; talks and panel discussions with artists, curators, and collaborators; opening receptions; and guided tours. The Biennial Program constitutes the core of the Biennial, establishing the theme and dialogues that unite the broader programming. Access is central to FotoFocus: many FotoFocus Biennial exhibitions and events are free and open to the public; but certain events, due largely to limited seating, are not.

FotoFocus is pleased to announce that the Passport Program is free, made possible by the generous support of Cummins Law LLC, Bruce M. Halpryn and Chas Riebe, Amanda Louis and Dr. Louis B. Louis IV, and Betsy and Peter Niehoff.

The 2024 Biennial Passport Program Is Now Complete

We thank our Passport Holders for their support and look forward to seeing you at future FotoFocus programs. Please join our mailing list to receive the latest updates on FotoFocus programming.
