STAY TUNED!
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.
We’ve had several Buffalo Obscura meetings recently with contributing artists for our upcoming show, Big Tent Revival: Photography Pop Up, scheduled for Friday July 26th in a soon to be announced obscure location near you. In addition to photography, we’ll have a series of short features involving large scale projections, live drawing, music and more. Stay tuned.
The three of us spent some time this afternoon planning our next events. Route 62 Photography Pop up is coming up on April 5, and we’re thrilled about what’s in store for June. Stay tuned.
