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.
It starts in the camera: light through a lens onto film. Our small-group workshops teach you to load a roll, set an exposure, and shoot with intention. A real skill, learned away from a screen.
Browse classes →Chemistry turns the exposed film into a negative you can hold. Develop and print in a fully-stocked community darkroom, or book open-lab time and work on your own once you know the ropes.
Book darkroom time →The finished print, on the wall. Up Close Gallery shows analog work by local and visiting artists, with open calls and First Friday openings on Grand Avenue.
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.
Free and low-key. RSVP so we know to expect you, or subscribe to the feed and never miss one.
Memberships keep the darkroom lights on and chemistry stocked. Members get discounted classes, early access to shows, and a vote on what we develop next.
