We are launching a campaign to fund the construction of a darkroom for the community of Percé and the surrounding area, as well as for all members of Ateliers À Travers.
This initiative aims to provide a unique, inclusive, and well-equipped creative space for all those passionate about film photography—beginners and experienced alike. With your support, we will be able to cover the essential costs of construction, plumbing, and equipment installation needed to make this project a reality.

Why a darkroom?
Following strong interest from the local photography community, and thanks to the initiative of several amateur photographers, Ateliers À Travers decided to create a new space dedicated to photography on their premises.
We already have a high-quality inkjet printer for printing photographs. The creation of a darkroom is a natural part of our mission to promote the printed arts: it is a relevant and coherent extension of our activities.
Because film photography is more than just a technique: it is a slow, conscious, and creative process. It is a medium in its own right that we want to make accessible to the community, at a low cost, in a collective and welcoming space.
Every donation, large or small, contributes concretely to building this creative space. Together, let’s support photography as a tool for expression, learning, and social connection.
