Fall Community Critiques
Every month, Rubylith Darkroom hosts a public critique night where photographers can share their work, discuss other's work, and meet one another. Over the past three years, we have built a community of people who are invested in each others' work and this happens through regular participation. Therefore, we ask everyone to attend and participate in at least one critique before they apply to show their work. No RSVP or background in photography is required to attend. Our fall critique slots to show work are full but please watch out for another call in 2027.
Past Events
Walkthrough of Hujar: Contact
In October 2025, in collaboration with Counter Collective, we organized a walkthrough of Hujar: Contact at the Morgan Library and Museum with Francis Schichtel, the director of the Peter Hujar Foundation. We gained amazing insight into Hujar's inspirations, life, and process.
Less Taste, More Spirit
In Summer 2026, we organized Less Taste, More Spirit, an experimental exhibition of the work of long standing members of Rubylith Darkroom, at Godspeed Arts' gallery space. These seven members share more than a darkroom; they share a curiosity about what photography becomes when they move beyond the expected and traditional, and start making decisions from the gut. Simultaneously surveying individual exploration in a shared space, this exhibition examines influence and incubation: how a collective of artists riff off of each other's material trials and conceptual tribulations.
Featuring the work of: Sara Danniu Beck, Zoe Elefterin, Tyler Guillen, Olivia Harrison, Fran Kula, Sophie Joseph Schwartz, and Calli Westra
The show was organized collectively by: Ruby Beenhouwer, Zoe Elefterin, Olivia Harrison, Oz Hewett, Fran Kula, Lily Rand, Calli Westra, and Walker White
July 24 - August 24, 2026
