We are in the planning stages for future in person events for 2021 as soon as it is safe to host them again.

With that in mind, we’re welcoming artists working in all aspects of the visual and performing arts to reach out to us at the link below and let us know if you’d like to get involved. We keep submissions on file and review all of them each time we plan an event. Our shows are one-night-only pop up events in obscure locations in and around Buffalo.

If you’re an artist, we’d love to hear from you, and please help us spread the word! Participate

2020 took an unexpected turn for everyone. Given the current state of the world, like many, we had to put some projects on hold and shift our focus to finding new ways to approach our mission. We are happy to report that plans are in the works for a multi-venue installation in July. We’ve been holding artists meetings via zoom and making preparations that we’ll be ready to announce very soon. Here are some of the artists who will be presenting their amazing work with us! Stay tuned for more information!

We would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out and helped us make Big Tent Revival: Photography Pop Up an event to remember. Also a big thanks to the artists who participated and helped with preparations all along the way. And to the Buffalo Obscura team members who work behind the scenes in countless ways to help us realize our vision, there is no way we could do this with out you! Special thanks to Daniel Britt who hosted us at Transfiguration Church, his passion project.

We’ll be presenting Big Tent Revival: Photography Pop Up on the grounds of Transfiguration Church on July 26th from 6-11pm. As part of our preparations, we invited the artists and collaborators to visit the site and have a rare look and tour of the inside. The new owner, Daniel Britt, showed everyone around.
