As of February 1, 2025, before acquiring a Darkroom Membership, all new members must attend a Darkroom Orientation Workshop led by one of the Darkroom Curators. For the updated workshop schedule, please visit the Events & Workshops page. With a monthly membership, attendance at one Darkroom Orientation Workshop per academic year is required.
Attending a Darkroom Orientation Workshop is mandatory to become a Darkroom Member, regardless of potential prior darkroom experience or attendance at our beginner workshops. Attending a Darkroom Orientation Workshop is also mandatory for those with an active darkroom membership. The Darkroom Orientation Workshop is essential and mandatory to be able to use the Hart House Darkroom, but it is not intended for learning how to develop and print. To learn the basics of darkroom use, please register for our beginner workshops.
Camera Club membership is OPEN TO ALL! No prior photography experience is needed! No portfolio is needed!
Please see below for different membership levels. Prorated membership is available. If the cost of membership is prohibitive for you, please reach out to us at info@harthousecameraclub.ca.
Please note that all of our darkrooms will be closed for maintenance for the month of August 2025. Thank you for your understanding.
