Join The Light Factory

At The Light Factory, membership has its benefits—literally. All you have to do is take a look at the list below to see the perks that a membership provides. But keep in mind that when you join The Light Factory, you’re doing much, much more: your membership fee helps fund our exhibitions, support our education and community engagement programs, and augment our operating budget. With your support, we are able to provide photography and film experiences to youth—and the greater community—who would otherwise not have these opportunities. Our valued members know this. And that’s why they’re simply the best.
