WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF

FOTO ART FESTIVAL

The photography festival, held for years at the foot of the majestic Beskidy Mountains in the picturesque Bielsko-Biała, has been attracting photography enthusiasts from both Poland and abroad for two decades. Its rich program offers exhibitions and meetings with world-renowned photographers, workshops, lectures, and many other inspiring events, creating an unforgettable experience for all photography art lovers.

As part of the 11th edition, we will showcase 16 individual exhibitions by artists from 16 countries and three continents – Europe and America. This is a unique opportunity to see photographs making their debut in Poland, covering a wide range of topics, from classic documentary to modern visual experiments.

During the iconic Author’s Marathon (October 11-12), you will have the opportunity to meet the artists in person, learn about their stories, and discover their inspirations.

Come and join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Foto Art Festival – an event that has been bringing people together through a shared passion for photography for years.

GUESTS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

For me, this festival is an antidote to the distorted face of reality, a chance to talk with valuable people and a chance to have conversations with myself (what is life really about????). I’m closer to the answer now! Thank you!!!!

MAGDA

When the FotoArtFestival began in Bielsko-Biała, a new peak appeared in the Beskidy Mountains. And it wasn’t just any mountain, but a true photographic Parnassus. (…) I recently returned from London, from the second Photo London fair. The program of the Bielsko festival is incomparably richer. (…)

ŁUKASZ

There has never been so many fascinating exhibitions in one place and time in Poland. (…) And it is right here, away from the main centers, that a festival was organized, featuring outstanding artists, renowned and respected worldwide, even icons of contemporary photography…

MARTA

I watched several hundred photographs on Friday and… I still wanted more. Because the exhibitions of the FotoArtFestival in Bielsko-Biała are like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates: each one hides something unique and unknown.
