Art Conspiracy

Art Conspiracy is street-level philanthropy with equal parts community art event and fundraiser. Each fall, more than 150 artists converge on a warehouse-turned-art studio to create unique works of art on Art Con’s signature 18×18-inch plywood boards. One week later, Art Con's major annual event is held, attracting an average of over 2,000 attendees. These original creations are sold in fast-paced, high-energy auctions while local bands play on the Art Con stage. Art Conspiracy chooses a new beneficiary each year to receive the proceeds. One of the primary goals of Art Conspiracy is to effect community change and support the arts in North Texas. Non-profits with an annual budget of less than $400,000 and that offer creative programming in the form of art or music that gives back to youth, families, and citizens within the Dallas city limits are considered to be chosen as Art Conspiracy’s annual beneficiary. Art Conspiracy is a recognized 501c3 nonprofit and is run entirely by an all-volunteer Executive Team of artists and passionate Dallas arts advocates. Since 2005, Art Conspiracy has raised over $250,000 for Dallas arts education nonprofits.
