Open Studio Access

Open studio hours are currently not available.  Open studios are a great fit for those with a basic knowledge of darkroom photography or alternative processes, and a wish to work without instruction, at their own pace.

Access to open studio hours are available to every student who takes a 3+ week class in our darkroom, and are also available to any photographers or artists who would like to work in a community use space for a flat, monthly rate.  If you are interested in accessing open studio hours in our darkroom, please contact our programs department for more information.

Monthly Studio Renter Access

Designed for self sufficient fully trained photographers looking for darkroom access, the renter program provides unrestricted 9-9 7 days a week access to the space and equipment outside of pre-scheduled classes. If you have participated in the open studio program, and feel confident in your practice, this is an ideal next step in your growth as a photographer. To be eligible to be a renter in this space, 1+ months of being in our open studio program is required.
