The gallery opening of Juvenile Development in the Chicago Arts District at 1915 South Halsted was last Friday the 13th. We set up a 35mm camera so guests could experience the how the manual cameras that the Apprentices from Darkroom Photography work. (The other program Robert R Gigliotti helps run for After School Matters). Most of the photos were out of focus. This is a testimonial to the “auto focus society” point and shoot cameras have created. The show was a great success for the Apprentices and may pieces were sold. We will continue to keep the gallery open on Saturdays from noon till 5pm. Stop by and visit us!

The Apprentices of Chicago Academy’s Darkroom program have been given the opportunity to show their traditional photography skills in the Chicago Art District this coming Friday, the 13th of November in Pilsen. The opening starts at 6pm and ends at 10pm and is located at 1915 South Halsted.

Robert R Gigliotti started the program last year with Co-instructor Jonathan Michael Johnson. Its a traditional Darkroom program where the Apprentices use 35mm film cameras. They develop all their own black and white film in the Darkroom. All work as been produced by the Apprentices with the direction of Robert & Jonathan.
