Bushwick darkroom professional#
Masters of Professional Studies – Arts & Cultural Management 3.8 GPA Bushwick Community Darkroom is the premier photography destination in Brooklyn, bridging arts education with a platform for studio practice, and definitively proving that film is not dead in 2021. Following intensive research on the positive impact of arts education on children's development, BCD also leads regular workshops for middle and high school students. Seasonal exhibitions within the 4,000 square foot warehouse in Bushwick, Brooklyn create opportunities for burgeoning photographers to showcase their work alongside music and multimedia art. By also providing community-led photography workshops, gallery events, and a membership program, BCD creates a flexible and growth-oriented structure within a creative environment. BCD aims to make film photography affordable and accessible by providing printing and development services, thus removing the largest barrier to entry for one of the most accessible art forms. The Bushwick Community Darkroom is a self-sufficient community space which serves as a platform for hundreds of artists, educators, and students. A decade later, BCD now boasts more than 50 members, 24/7 access to darkrooms, color and black-and-white film processing, low-cost workshops and curated photography exhibitions. While simultaneously building a local network through her leadership of Bushwick Open Studios, Rollow assembled a motley crew, which transformed BCD from a makeshift basement space into the bustling 4,000 square foot warehouse it is today. With just a handful of equipment, very little money and a dream, she opened Bushwick Community Darkroom in 2011. Determined to continue the legacy of film photography, Rollow realized other artists were struggling with similar barriers. When Lucia Rollow graduated with her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts, she found herself without an accessible space to print and develop film. Her video profile was featured in the Square Capital project. Her work as an artist and organizer has been featured in publications including Artnet, Hyperallergic, Brooklyn Paper, and Bedford + Bowery. Rollow has exhibited her artwork at spaces including Storefront Gallery, Animamus Art Salon, Spread Art Detroit, and Brooklyn Fire Proof Gallery. Passionate about taking the BCD to the next level as a professional arts space, Rollow completed her Masters in Arts and Cultural Management at Pratt in 2015.
While building the darkroom and her team, Rollow established herself as a local leader through her organizing for Bushwick Open Studios. Finding herself without access to a darkroom after graduating, Rollow worked to create a community space run by artists, a project which grew to occupy a 4,000 square foot warehouse today. Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, moved to New York City to pursue her BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts. Lucia Rollow is the artist, educator and community organizer who founded Bushwick Community Darkroom in 2011.
