Project Basho is a photography resource center located on Germantown Avenue in Old Kensington, an artist-concentrated and culturally vibrant section of Philadelphia. It is a small yet dedicated organization of photographers, run by photographers, for photographers.



With the community darkroom as the locus of the program, Project Basho offers introductory and advanced classes and specialized workshops on historical processes and other formal issues in photography. Project Basho is committed to re-introducing photography to Philadelphia by providing a space that is conducive to the advancement of the medium and by fostering a vibrant culture of photography through an array of educational programs such as informal critiques, lectures, and panel discussions.



Project Basho also houses a gallery space. Unique architectural details and a 14 ft foot ceiling create a space that is both spacious and intimate. Project Basho Gallery is a place where visually arresting photographs and educated viewers can meet to appreciate the beauty of the craft and the vision of the medium.
