The mission of Art Conspiracy is to inspire Dallas' art and music scenes to join forces for the benefit of a local non-profit art and/or music organization.
Art Conspiracy fosters a sense of collaboration amongst the art and music communities that's galvanized by the goal of community improvement. We provide innovative and accessible opportunities for community members to contribute to unique events and make a tangible difference to our chosen non-profit art and music beneficiaries.
In 2007, Art Conspiracy executive team members made the decision to support St. Anthony's Community Center after making several site visits and learning about various affordable arts and music programs being provided to children in the Dallas area.
In the future, Art Conspiracy plans to have a beneficiary selection committee to review potential beneficiaries and make a final selection.
First, the Art Conspiracy event brings artists and musicians together to “conspire” for the benefit of the local arts scene. Second, there's the historic aspect to it. Our first event was held in the Texas Theater in Oak Cliff, where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested shortly after President John F. Kennedy was shot.
Our second event was held in the Longhorn Ballroom near downtown, once owned by Jack Ruby – who murdered Oswald days after the Kennedy assassination.
JFK-oriented conspiracy theories are a fabric of modern Dallas life, the name Art Conspiracy acknowledges this and also highlights the positive impact conspiracies can bring about.
