Open Facilities Night Dates for March, April, and May!

Buffalo, NY, – March 4 , 2025

Here are the next three dates for Open Facilities Night at CEPA! Mark your calendars for March 21st, April 18th, and May 23rd!

Open Facilities Night invites members of the Buffalo community to come together, collaborate, and create—free of charge—using CEPA’s facilities.

Here is everything you need to know:
• When you arrive please enter through the Main Street entrance. If you arrive after open gallery hours, after 7:00pm, please call us at (716) 856-2717. We will stop letting guests in at 8:00.
• Participants will be able to work in the darkroom. Chemistry is provided, but please bring your own paper! (If you need paper, we will provide it to you for $20 lab fee or you can also sign up for a membership). It is preferred if those who attend have some basic darkroom knowledge already. For those new to the darkroom, please keep an eye out for our future darkroom classes or set up an appointment for one-on-one tutorials on our website.
• Collaging and zine making will be taking place in the classroom area. If you have anything you can donate (magazines, stickers, craft paper, small doodads) please feel free to bring! The more the merrier. Otherwise, materials will all be provided.
• Participants will be able to work in our computer lab to scan film and work in the Adobe Suite. However, we are unable to accommodate digital printing.
• While the majority of Open Facilities Night will be taking place in the classroom areas and darkroom, people are welcome to work in the lighting studio if they have the experience to do so.

Hope to see you there!
