FFOCWS

Friday 30 May - Saturday 12 July 2025  (Wednesday - Saturday, 12pm - 5pm)

Preview: Thursday 29 May, from 6pm - 8pm, FREE - All welcome.

Ffocws is part of Ffotogallery’s mission to support early-career visual artists in Wales, for those who have been through formal education, and those who have had other paths into photography. For this year, Ffocws 2024 is generously supported by the Oakdale Trust and the Darkley Trust, with the next three editions of Ffocws generously supported by the Ashley Family Foundation. 

Ffocws is open to artists and photographers based in Wales working with photography or moving-image based in Wales who have completed a BA, MA or similar level degree. Ffocws is also open to early-career artists working with photography or moving image based in Wales, who have not gone through formal education who have reached a point where this opportunity would make a difference to their practice.

The artists confirmed as taking part in Ffocws 2024 are (left to right above) :

Lucy Beckett (@lucybeckettphotography)

Llŷr Evans (@llyr.evans)

Taiye Omokore (@taiye_omokore)

Alina Potapenko (@dancinglikeayoyo)

At that critical juncture in their practice, Ffocws will support these six artists to develop their practice through mentoring and presentation of their work in a group show, which will open at 6pm, 29 May 2025 at Ffotogallery.

Artists have been selected following an open call that invited recent graduates and emerging artists who have been through other forms of education, as well as nominations from various course leaders in Photography across Wales.
