Safelight District will have it's grand opening on Friday, February 22, at 7:00 pm, and the public is invited. There will be music, art, refreshments, and, of course, tours of the darkroom facilities. It will be a great opportunity for members of the Chattanooga area analog photography community to meet, greet, and share.
Tori and Jet have labored over Safelight District ever since they conceived the idea of a community darkroom back in 2017. The darkroom facilities will include three 35mm and medium format enlargers and one large format enlarger. They also have all the tools needed to make handcrafted analog prints. For people who have little or no experience in using a darkroom, Safelight District will be offering workshops on film developing, printing, and other analog photography topics as needed. Tori and Jet also have created a small gallery space for exhibitions.
We believe that the opening of a community darkroom will be a major boost to the analog photography community in the greater Chattanooga area and could well be the hub of activities for those of us who are coming back to film photography or are interested in taking up the hobby. We are very grateful to Tori and Jet for all the hard work they have put in over the last two years, and we wish them all the best in this exciting endeavor.
