    Color is up and running!

    Hi All!

    We are happy to report our color facility is ready for printing! We tested the color processor and enlargers today and made our first contact prints.  Yay!  Black and white will be ready this weekend.  We hope you'll join us for a launch party later on at a soon-to-be-announced date. Please be in touch and let us know if you're interested in visiting our facilities and/or becoming a member, but pardon us while we work out all the kinks that come with being a fledgling operation.

    All the best,

    Stephanie and Johanna

    Almost there...

    The construction and set up of Radiant Labs has taken a bit longer than we expected but we are almost there.  In a week, fingers crossed, we will be up and running.

    Thank You and Happy New Year!

    Dear friends, 

    We are excited to report that we have successfully completed our fundraiser for Radiant Labs. Not only did we reach our goal but we far exceeded it!  Thanks to your support and generosity, we raised $10,167 for the construction and equipment needed to complete our communal darkroom.  Thank you for sharing our project with your friends and colleagues - it has been a huge help!  We will be posting updates on Radiant Labs' progress here, on our Facebook page, and on our website www.radiantlabsnyc.com, so we hope you check in.  And come for a visit when we are up and running!

    Thanks and Happy New Year,

    Stephanie and Johanna

    100% and Happy New Year!

    Hi all,

    Thank you so much for supporting us and spreading the word about Radiant Labs. With your help and generosity we just reached 100% of our $7500 goal! As of today we have only 7 days left to keep adding to our fundraising campaign. 

    We met with our contractor last week and are finishing the layout of our space.  Construction begins in the first week of January so the darkroom will be ready for all of us to get to work in February.

    Please continue to share Radiant Labs through all venues - Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. We couldn't be happier to have hit our target and the only thing more amazing would be to beat it.

    All our best wishes to you for a happy and healthy new year. Here's to 2012!

    Johanna & Stephanie
