What you get

This opportunity is only available for a select group of previous members, volunteers and supporters.

We're doing things a little differently this time around. The 33" Kreonite is not coming back b/c we have established partnerships with Photolab-NYC and CRC to give our members access to their color darkrooms. You can book time at either of those labs directly through the member portal as easily as you will be able to book time at the new BCD space.
