Memberships

The Savannah Center for Photography is a community darkroom, workshop space, and public gallery. We offer something for photographers at every level, from those just starting out to working artists deep in their practice.

Check out our membership options below to see what might be a good fit. We encourage folks to sign up for classes and critiques regardless of membership.

Members receive access to book their lab hours through a private link after signup. Non-members, aka drop-ins, can book darkroom access but require a lab monitor. Reach out to info@savphoto.org to coordinate.
