Since its foundation in 1981, FOTOHOF in Salzburg has been an important center with widespread activities.
A group of photographers and enthusiasts gathered and worked together to create a space for presenting and discussing art photography; this ambitious concept succeded by founding an “association to support author photographers” (Verein zur Förderung der Autorenfotografie) and because the first Gallery space was in a courtyard, the more descriptive name FOTO-HOF was created; since then, for 26 years, this “collective” structure has been the same and Fotohof has been working in the field of national and international art photography.

The Fotohof today is located in the new build Salzburg city district called Stadtwerk Lehen. The gallery consists of two ground level exhibition spaces with 140 square meters and 60 square meters for the library. Attached to the library and the exhibition halls are display spaces for our book and portfolio editions and the offices.
