ABOUT fotofoto Gallery 

fotofoto gallery was formed in 2003 by a group of fine art photographers desiring to create a center where photographic visions could be exchanged.  Now in our 21st year, fotofoto gallery continues to be a place for traditional black and white, digital, experimental and alternative processes. The gallery sponsors an extensive calendar of exhibitions, workshops, salons, competitions and special events. The gallery is located in the heart of Huntington, New York and is open Thursday through Sunday and by appointment. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
