Foam objectives (as described in our statutes)
To contribute to the development of photography by presenting, collecting, and stimulating education and research in both a national and international context.
Artist fees
Foam is proud to collaborate with many inspiring artists working in photography. In addition to giving image-makers a platform, we also actively nurture photography talent through various talent programmes and photography awards. We believe that being transparent about our artist fees is an intrinsic part of this.
