New Orleans Community Printshop and Darkroom

The New Orleans Community Printshop & Darkroom provides the New Orleans community with public access to affordable printmaking and art making equipment, training, and services. The Printshop & Darkroom aims to increase awareness, appreciation, and exposure of print media and contemporary printmaking in New Orleans. The Printshop & Darkroom strives to help independent artists and entrepreneurs grow their business through screen- printing, and to provide adult education, youth education, and outreach to communities with low- access to arts education. Additionally, the Printshop & Darkroom seeks to create a supportive print community for volunteers and Printshop/Darkroom Members to grow their artistic practice during non-public Printshop/Darkroom hours.
