About Ffotogallery

Since its formation in 1978, Ffotogallery has been at the forefront of new developments in photography and lens-based media in Wales and beyond, encouraging public understanding of and deeper engagement with photography and its value to society.

This is realised through:

• Exhibitions, print and online publishing activities and projects that reflect the evolution of the photographic medium and its role in the world
• Commissioning and exhibiting the work of new and established artists and cross-disciplinary practice that responds to the evolving nature of the medium
• Organising the biennial Diffusion: Cardiff International Festival of Photography
• Developing learning resources, organising talks and events, courses and workshops to support practice, knowledge exchange and appreciation
• Providing a creative studio and digital workspace for creative practitioners, collaborating groups and visiting international artists
• Preserving existing and producing new archival materials and establishing a new library to make them publicly accessible
• Internships, volunteering and skills development opportunities across the range of the organisation’s work
