about
Art Conspiracy is street level philanthropy. Members of the creative community in North Texas pool their talents to create bi-annual fundraising events that support other nonprofit arts programs. Art Conspiracy events are designed to be affordable and offer everyone a chance to purchase original artwork at a reasonable level. Art Conspiracy is a 501c3 organization with IRS nonprofit status.
Since 2005, Art Conspiracy has raised over $110,000 for groups including:
- Today Marks the Beginning’s MasterPEACE program which uses art to impact awareness of social issues and teach children about non-violence.
- Resolana, a community-based nonprofit organization that provides holistic, gender-sensitive, rehabilitative programming for incarcerated women.
- Preservation LINK, an organization that teaches audio and visual media to students in South Dallas and Fair Park.
- La Reunion TX, an arts residency in the making on a 35 acre urban forest engaged as outdoor studio space and gallery.
- St. Anthony Community Center, a center that offers visual art, music and dance to more than 800 children in South Dallas.
Art conspiracy was established with the following goals in mind:
1. to bring together a group of Dallas area artists and musicians to raise money
for a chosen benefit.
2. to provide art to the non-gallery attending masses.
3. to help spark awareness of the local arts scene
4. to use historic, under-utilized buildings as art venues
We transform a venue into a giant art studio where artists make work on plywood on site throughout the day. The next night we auction it all off while bands play. We’re asking artists for time, not old unsold inventory.
