Deep Ellum Gallery Walk - Dallas, TX
September 19, 2009
The Obscura Photo Club - in conjunction with the Hal Samples Gallery - featured photographic works by Collin College students in a truly unique venue. As part of Deep Ellum's Fall Art Walk, Obscura rented a 26-foot U-Haul truck and set up a functioning art gallery in its interior. Given the smashing success of this show, it's entirely possible Obscura is the coolest organization on campus! Just sayin'...
