A community darkroom, gallery, and workshop studio on Grand Avenue. Load a camera, develop your own roll, and hang your work on the wall. No screens required.
The three phases of making a photograph on film. We're built around all three.
All experience levels welcome, and no camera needed to start. Small-group classes on Grand Avenue cover shooting film, developing it, and printing by hand, plus pinhole, cyanotype, and other alternative processes. Fully hands on.
Browse classes →A darkroom takes constant work: light sealed, chemistry fresh, temperatures held. Ours stays dialed in, enlargers to film tanks, so you can book a session and get straight to printing. Bring negatives and paper, we handle the rest.
Book darkroom time →Up Close Gallery shows work by Phoenix photographers alongside artists from across the country. Prints deserve a wall and an audience, and photographers deserve a room full of people who still believe a print is worth making.
See the gallery →The next dates straight from our schedule. Each class is hands-on and capped small, so spots go fast.
Photographs by local and visiting artists. We show film, alternative process, and digital. Open calls run a few times a year, and yours is welcome.
Come shoot with us, trade prints, and meet other film people. RSVP so the date stays on your radar and so we know you're interested in coming. Plans change, and that's fine.
The lab runs on the people who use it. Support on Patreon keeps the darkroom stocked and the chemistry mixed, and it helps us put on more workshops, events, and shows for the community.
