New: Become a PHOTO Contemporary
We’re launching a new way for PHOTO supporters to connect with the festival and artists called PHOTO Contemporaries.
By becoming a PHOTO Contemporary for just $1,000 or 4 payments of $250, your contribution will directly fund new artist commissions at PHOTO 2024 International Festival of Photography, March 1 – 24.
You’ll also be joining a network of like-minded supporters as part of our PHOTO Extra community. PHOTO Extra is an exclusive program of events run throughout the year that connects our Patrons, Partners, and Artists to appreciate and celebrate photography and ideas together.
Join the next generation of giving.
