Your responses will help…
In: News
6 May 2013If you have time for a brief 7-question survey (5 of the questions are multiple-choice!), it would help us greatly in figuring out how to best serve the community’s desire for a public darkroom. Whether you have been a member or not, if you have any interest in darkroom photography at all, we need to hear from you. We are looking at some changes around the corner this summer, brainstorming new ways for people to participate, and ultimately, keep the doors open. All responses are anonymous and would be most appreciated!
The Asheville Darkroom Survey 5/2013
Busy Sunday coming up!
22 Apr 2013This Sunday, April 28 is not only the monthly meeting of our critique series, but it is also Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day!
Come on out on Sunday from 12-5 and see pinhole photography in action. Thousands of photographers from all over the world will be making pinhole photographs on this day. Learn more on the Workshops page.
Later that evening, from 6-8, we’ll also have critique night. The Asheville Darkroom aims to provide a forum for photographers at all levels, digital or analog, to receive critical feedback on 5-10 physical prints. We appeal to photographers using the medium as an artistic process. All who wish to provide a safe but challenging environment to grow with input from a group of peers, darkroom members or not, are welcome! The first six people to reserve a slot will have their work reviewed, although anyone beyond the six who wants to attend is encouraged to do so. You can RSVP to show your work on our FB event page, or email Bridget.
