Want to learn the art of traditional B&W photography.

Since my wife is a Director of Academic Advising at a community college, I have to recommend an into course at a CC if you have one nearby. (Please take this with grain of salt- I'm in Chicago, not on East Coast- I'm not familiar with the facilities available in your 'hood)
The tuition tends to be pretty low, and if you ever decide to take more classes, the credits will probably be transferrable or applicable to a degree program.
Just my .02.

The program that Drew is organizing may be exactly what you are looking for.

There's also the Danforth Museum School in Framingham. They have a darkroom and several classes on printing, usually in the evenings.
