" FOTOFEST is not about just one place to see great photography but
multiple venues, laneways and walls, creating a visual symphony within the city"
Held across ten days FOTOFEST brings creativity out into the streets, from not just one venue but multiple spaces including laneways, businesses, walls and alleyways across the city.
