2020 FotoFocus Biennial
In lieu of presenting the fifth FotoFocus Biennial, light&, FotoFocus has pledged its 2020 Biennial budget to financially support the region’s art community during the coronavirus pandemic. FotoFocus will give an Emergency Art Grant in the amount of $800,000 to over 100 Participating Venues and Partners that were selected to present as part of the 2020 FotoFocus Biennial.
“After many discussions about how we should move forward with this year’s FotoFocus Biennial, we kept coming back to the same conclusion—the best thing we can do to help the arts survive this crisis is reconfigure our grantmaking. We are about to move into our second decade and we need our community with us. We hope this money will help our partners get by at the time they need it most,” said Mary Ellen Goeke, FotoFocus Executive Director.
“The theme light& is as timely as ever: our response to this crisis, and to going forward as an organization, is to choose hopefulness over isolation, support over attrition. We are choosing the silver lining, which is to reaffirm our creative community and to use the time, and funding, to create an even brighter future,” said Kevin Moore, FotoFocus Artistic Director and Curator.
The next FotoFocus Biennial will take place in October 2022 with a new theme. The Program Week is scheduled for Saturday, October 1 – Saturday, October 8, 2022.
Venues
The FotoFocus 2020 Biennial was slated to activate over 100 museums, galleries, universities, and public spaces throughout Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio in October 2020, with the largest Biennial Program in the organization’s ten year history.
We want to thank and recognize the venues that were selected to participate in the 2020 FotoFocus Biennial, light&.
