About this Event
Date : Saturday, February 21, 12-2 pm
For: Parent & Child (6yr +)
This is a fun introduction to the darkroom class. Students place objects on photographic paper and expose them to light, then develop the paper in our darkroom. The unusual combinations are personal expressions that utilize the student’s intuition.
Fee: $12 total (parent & child bundle)
Max participants: 6 people (3 families)
Notes for participants. Dress for art class with either a smock, an apron or T-shirt
Facilitators: Michael Macioce and Lenore Browne

Lenore Browne started using a film camera after graduating high school. Although she later received business-related degrees, her passion lies with film photography and printing in a traditional darkroom. In her first attempt to display her photographs, Browne’s “Life Lines” was selected in a juried competition for exhibition at the Pen and Brush Gallery, in Greenwich Village, by Daile Kaplan, Vice President and Director of Photographs of the Swann Galleries, May 2009. Thereafter, she began documenting Harlem as it evolves through its Second Renaissance. Browne’s Harlem photographs have exhibited at Hamilton Landmark Galleries, Symphony Space, Harlem Hospital, Columbia University Barrie Russ, Harlem Fine Arts Show and the New York Public Library.
Browne is a founder and Board Member (President) of the Hamilton Heights Darkroom whose nonprofit mission is to provide photography and darkroom printing experience to youth and adults in the Harlem Community.
