What is FOTOFEST HOUSTON!?

If you're like me then you have no clue what FOTOFEST is, and since this little blog has reached some sort of popularity nationally and internationally thanks to the now missing BS, I thought it would be worth everyone's time to enlighten:

"FotoFest® created the first international Biennial of Photography and Photo-related Art in the United States. FotoFest ®
is an international non-profit photographic arts and education organization based in Houston, Texas.

FotoFest's purpose is to promote the exchange of art and ideas through international programs and the presentation of photographic art. Our programs work globally and locally, bringing together an international vision of art and cross-cultural exchange with a commitment to community involvement and the enrichment of Houston's cultural resources.

In addition to its internationally known Biennial, FotoFest sponsors Inter-Biennial programs - exhibitions, international exchange programs, and publications. In grades 3-12, FotoFest operates a year-round classroom education program, Literacy Through Photography, using photography to strengthen writing skills, visual literacy, and cognitive learning."
