Fundacja Sztuk Wizualnych
Foundation for Visual Arts
The Foundation for Visual Arts is an independent, non-profit arts organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of the visual arts in Poland, with an emphasis on photography. Established in Krakow in 2001, the Foundation has, in its first decade, continually sought out new and evolving definitions of what photography is and can be within the context of contemporary society; and the ways in which photographers and other visual artists can both document and subvert, chronicle and challenge aspects of a complex society, one frame, exhibition, and photo-book at a time.
The Foundation’s keystone curatorial endeavor is the annual Krakow Photomonth Festival. The Festival combines a citywide slate of photography exhibitions with artist and author meetings, panel discussions, film screenings, concerts, and parties at which artists, curators, and the festival-going public overlap and interact over the course of a month.
