Photoland will be reopening for Fall quarter on Monday, September 28th, 2026. Our first proficiency of the quarter will be on Friday, October 16th.

The analog photography spaces in Photoland require a proficiency training to access. In these 4-hour trainings, we will go over how to process black and white film and then how to make enlargements in the darkroom. After receiving this training, you will be able to use Photoland’s analog photography facilities during open lab hours!

These sessions are open to all currently enrolled students, current staff and faculty at Evergreen, and members of the general public. Community members will need to pay a proficiency fee of $15.00.

For this training, you will need to bring an exposed roll of 35mm black and white film to process during the session. You will not be able to participate without this. You may choose to bring 120mm film if that is your preference, but be aware that the proficiency will be geared towards 35mm processing.
