International Photography Festival

The FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA-SAFOTO Int'l Photography Festival is a unique and eclectic forum for the exhibition and celebration of photography and photography-based art forms.

For fifteen years, the FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA-SAFOTO Festival has fostered a growing interest in the photographic arts in South Texas, with established and mid-career artists showcasing their talents alongside a burgeoning pool of avid photographic artists and enthusiasts. This growth reflects a deep interest in photographyboth as an art form and as a means of personal and cultural expression, and is indicative of the enthusiasm with which San Antonians have embraced the Festival.

This year, for the first time, Taiwanese photographers have been invited to participate in FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA-SAFOTO. Their inclusion in the event coincides with Taiwan's centennial celebration,? Taiwan: Splendid for One Hundred.?
