Photography Darkroom
The CCCAC darkroom is available to experienced photographers for black and white developing. Individuals must know how to use the equipment, provide their own chemicals and supplies, are expected to clean up the space after using it, and follow CCCAC darkroom rules and procedures. The darkroom is run by volunteers. Individuals interested in using the space will need an orientation from a current darkroom volunteer. Equipment: Two enlargers: Beseler Model 45MXII and Beseler 67SC, GraLab Darkroom timer Model 300, trays, water temperature control, film drying cabinet, developing tanks, lightbox, reels, and miscellaneous tools and equipment. |
To use the space you must be able to competently use the darkroom, know how to develop film, receive an orientation, be an annual member of the Arts Center, and schedule time at the hourly or daily rate. Annual membership starts at $25 for the artist level.
Darkroom use fees are hourly or daily:
$5 per hour
$20 for the day
The Arts Center is open Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm and Saturday 10am-2pm
Mentorship: If you are a photographer experienced with black and white film development and would like to teach another individual on a mentorship basis, email [email protected].
Update 2024: We do not have a volunteer darkroom manager to oversee the space. The darkroom is currently only available for limited use as project-based rental for experienced b/w film photographers. Experience requirements: you have developed your own film within the past 5 years, will purchase your own supplies and paper, and know how to properly use darkroom equipment without assistance. Novice photographers may use the space only with the help of an experienced photographer.
