Update #6: Color is up and running!

Posted on March 21

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

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
