2026 Biennial: The Long View

Explore one of the nation's largest celebrations of photography and lens-based art during the 2026 FotoFocus Biennial, The Long View. Taking place throughout October, with opening programs scheduled for Sept. 30-Oct. 3, the Biennial features 74 exhibitions at 65 venues across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and select locations throughout Ohio. The Opening Program launches the Biennial with keynote lectures, artist conversations, performances, screenings, tours and receptions featuring international participants. Designed to introduce this year's theme and spark dialogue, the program invites audiences to explore the world through photography, film and lens-based art. Presented in museums, galleries, universities and public spaces, exhibitions showcase the work of artists from around the world. Visitors can also experience the newly opened FotoFocus Center and discover new participating venues, including ArtsConnect, Cincinnati Art Club, Delhi Event Center, MOTR Pub and Swell Art Cafe. While many venues are free and open to the public, the official Biennial Pass offers access to Biennial Events during October; invitations to members-only events; and entry to the Opening Program.
