Brief description:
Established in 1978, Ffotogallery is the national development agency for photography and lens-based media in Wales, and in 2003 took over the Turner House Gallery, which was built in the 1880s.
For nearly 20 years the building was the home of Ffotogallery, the national development agency for photography in Wales. Today, Penarth Town Council manage the Turner House as an arts and creative hub for the communities of Penarth and beyond.
"Since its formation in 1978, Ffotogallery has been at the forefront of new developments in photography and lens-based media in Wales and beyond, encouraging public understanding of and deeper engagement with photography and its value to society.
Our Vision:
Photography has the power to effect and reflect social change. By building an inclusive grassroots network in Wales with an international impact, we will be at the heart of a welcoming, creative community engaged in contemporary conversations about photography’s role in shaping a more equitable and sustainable world.
Our Mission"
Ffotogallery’s mission is to work with photographers, artists, audiences and partners to;
Inspire engagement with and understanding of photography in Wales and the wider world.
Support career development of emerging and established photographers and multidisciplinary artists.
Amplify opportunities for those who have been traditionally underrepresented or face barriers accessing the arts.
Embrace the power of visual storytelling to address the challenges of our time.
Place social justice and well-being at the heart of everything we do."
