Keep NYC’s Darkroom Alive — Build Your Analog Legacy

🔥 Become a Forever Flame 🔥

Bushwick Community Darkroom isn’t just a workspace.
It’s a home for lost formats, found families, and the kind of magic you can only make in the dark.

Since 2011, we’ve built a thriving DIY photo space out of sweat, tape, and sheer belief.
Now we’re asking:
Will you help make sure this light never goes out — for all of us?
