Michelle Cozzaglio, co-owner and curator of theOddities & Curiosities Expo, says that, for years, people have been telling her to bring the event to Pittsburgh, viewing it as the kind of town that might enjoy “weird and wonderful” wares like scavenged bone art, spooky animal jewelry, and antique keys.https://www.pghcitypaper.com/arts-en...weird-24435776
“I like to say [the Expo] is for lovers of the strange and unusual,” she says. “[So] we’re excited to finally be here.”
Billing itself as the original touring event for oddities vendors, the day-long expo makes its Pittsburgh debuton Sat., Aug. 26at theDavid L. Lawrence Convention Center. Attendees can expect artists, antique dealers, and small businesses, with vendors pickedspecifically to showcase “all things weird.” Given that broad theme, the list of peculiar items ranges from taxidermy, animal skulls, and preserved specimens; artwork with Halloween and horror elements; creepy clothing and jewelry; quack medical devices; funeral collectibles; and other vintage items and ephemera.
Sounds a smidge interesting. Might be a fun thing to check out, then hit up a rub and tug.
