Change is underway in Braddock as groups working within and with the community bring renewed energy to a town that many wrote off. Artists, social entrepreneurs, community organizers, urban homesteaders and others with a pioneering spirit are inspired by the town’s potential for grassroots urban renewal and are using the inherent energy in Braddock to fuel their creativity. It is with this spirit that Obscuræ views the maligned town – turning a photographic eye towards the borough’s oft-overlooked beauty amidst the former grandeur and “urban blight” that Braddock has come to represent for many in the Pittsburgh area.

The Art Lottery Fundraiser was a resounding success. We had a solid showing on Friday night, and despite the snow on Saturday the lottery was a lot of fun. We met some great people and shared some of the small beautiful details found around Braddock.
After the lottery we offered the remaining pieces for sale and by the end of the night we'd sold out the entire show. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help!
The next phase of the Obscurae Gallery project is the Print Gallery. The gallery contains all the images from the show, but will also be expanding over time. Signed archival prints of the images are now available for most images, with more being added frequently. Print sales will be split between Obscurae and the photographer, making them a great gift that supports both the arts and the important work taking place in Braddock.
