A complete Collectors Program will take place with the aim of attracting
collectors and making Donostia-San Sebastia'n a reference point in the
world of image, promoting and generating a setting that is conducive to
private, institutional and corporate art collecting.
Once again, after its great success at last year's event, DFOTO will
include a bookshop, to be managed by Kowasa (Barcelona) one of the most
prestigious photography bookshops in Europe. Here visitors will be able to
purchase publications, catalogues and journals about photography, thus
contributing to increased knowledge and awareness of this means of
expression.
