About the Passport

The Passport offers free access to 100-plus 2022 FotoFocus Biennial projects during the month of October; an invitation to members-only events; and entry into the FotoFocus Biennial Program (September 29–October 8, 2022), which features keynote lectures, talks and panel discussions with artists, curators and collaborators, screenings, receptions, and tours.

Accessibility 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. The Passport provides access to members-only events at FotoFocus Curated Exhibitions at the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Contemporary Arts Center, and the Taft Museum of Art; the two-day Biennial Daytime Symposium at Memorial Hall and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center; and many other events throughout the month of October.

This year, 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, Betsy and Peter Niehoff, and The E. W. Scripps Co.

The 2022 Biennial Passport Program Is Now Complete
