Our members are the core of our community.

We offer a membership option to suit everyone's budget and needs.

Anyone wishing to to use our facilities as part of their membership rather than just dropping off or

mailing in film for development is required to register for and attend an orientation session, no exceptions.

How it works...

During this time of transition we are limiting our membership options.

Those interested solely in exhibition opportunities via Artsy, art fairs & pop up exhibition opportunities throughout the year should sign up for the SHIM/Photo Network membership.

Those interested in a global network of darkrooms and labs offering discount services should sing up for the United Film Lab Network Membership.

When the Bushwick Community Darkroom re-opens existing members will be the first to know and have access to exclusive discounts & opportunities.
