Developing and Printing Film 101 Workshop with Darrius Fox

The First of Many x The Biddle Store: A Community Collab to help save The Biddle

Some of your favorite artists and creatives from The First of Many Series 2024/2025 Cohort are coming together once again - this time with a purpose beyond art. We’re collaborating with The Biddle Store to help save a vital community hub that’s in danger of closing its doors.

From healing-centered workshops to music and film, these upcoming events will feature TFOMS cohort using their gifts to give back.

We source our venues with deep care and intention—prioritizing local, underrepresented spaces that are often overlooked, yet deeply rooted in community. These are places that deserve to be seen, celebrated, and sustained.

Each activation becomes more than just an event—it’s a creative offering, a collective act of care, and an opportunity to honor the spaces that hold us. It’s also a commitment to reimagining what’s possible when we gather with purpose, creativity, and intention.

We believe space is sacred. And when we gather with intention, we’re not just hosting events—we’re helping sustain legacies.

Our collaboration with The Biddle Store is a reflection of that commitment. It’s a space built on intention, creativity, and community care—and we're honored to activate it in ways that amplify its spirit and story.

Every ticket purchase supports:

• Keeping The Biddle Open
• Paying Artists for their labor
• Future TFOM programming that center us all

Let's honor art, legacy and collective care - together.

Can’t make it? You can still support-donations are encouraged via this link.

Let’s keep this space alive, together.

WORKSHOP INFO:

The Film Developing and Printing Workshop is designed to support local photographers by simplifying the film development and printing process. Focused on accessibility and affordability, the workshop aims to equip artists with the skills and confidence to develop their own work. Participants will learn how to process color film and the steps involved in printing their images in black and white.

Please note that participants will need to bring a pre-shot roll of color film (any stock or brand) as we will not be shooting during this workshop. 

In addition, participants will gain hands-on experience handling developing chemicals and will gain a deeper understanding of the archival process. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to move beyond digital formats and create physical prints, allowing artists to engage with the tangible, hands-on nature of traditional photography. 

Ultimately, this space empowers participants to preserve and showcase their work in a more intentional and personal way.

MORE ABOUT THE BIDDLE STORE AND THE FIRST OF MANY:

• The Biddle Store

• The First of Many is a heart-centered creative agency and storytelling platform built to honor the people behind the practice. Founded by Jasmine Washington, TFOM exists to celebrate artists, makers, and entrepreneurs not just for what they create—but for the why that drives them.

We work at the intersection of art, community, and care—offering portraiture, podcasting, writing prompts, events, and resource-sharing as tools for reflection, visibility, and collective growth. Every project is rooted in the belief that presence is enough. That you don’t need to perform, prove, or polish yourself to be seen.

At its core, The First of Many is about making space—real, intentional space—for creatives to tell their stories on their own terms. We are here to amplify what often gets overlooked: the process, the people, and the power in simply showing up as you are.

We source our venues with deep care and intention—prioritizing local, underrepresented spaces that are often overlooked, yet deeply rooted in community. These are places that deserve to be seen, celebrated, and sustained.

Each activation becomes more than just an event—it’s a creative offering, a collective act of care, and an opportunity to honor the spaces that hold us. It’s also a commitment to reimagining what’s possible when we gather with purpose, creativity, and intention.

We believe space is sacred. And when we gather with intention, we’re not just hosting events—we’re helping sustain legacies.
