Turner House Gallery in Penarth, Ffotogallery's exhibition space from 2003 to 2019.

Ffotogallery is a national organisation and has an exhibition programme featuring artists from Wales and the rest of the world. It features touring exhibitions, collaborations with other organisations and galleries, print and online publishing and an education and outreach programme. Ffotogallery also works with film and video, digital media and installation.

In 2003 it acquired Turner House Gallery in Penarth, near Cardiff, from the National Museum of Wales and used it for photography-based exhibitions. Its administration and education programme was based in Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff. In 2009 David Drake took over as director, from Chris Coppock who had been director for 19 years.

In 2016 Penarth town council suggested they planned to convert Turner House into a food outlet. In June 2019 Ffotogallery moved to The Old Sunday School on Fanny Street, Cathays, Cardiff.

Ffotogallery receives regular funding from the Arts Council of Wales, for example receiving £198,688 in 2015/16 and a similar amount in 2016/2017.

Ffotogallery organises Diffusion: Cardiff International Festival of Photography. The biannual festival was held in 2013, focusing on Europe, in 2015 when the title was "Looking for America" and in 2017 when under the theme 'Revolution.' The fourth instalment took place in April 2019 with the theme Sound + Vision, exploring the relationship between sound, photography and lens-based media.

In 2023 Ffotogallery ran a scheme with MADE Cardiff, to support graduate photographers, with a Ffotogallery exhibition to be held in November 2023.
