The event will feature music from The Cocky Americans, Jacob Metcalf and Johnny Beauford and will be hosted by Reid Robinson.
The money raised during the SEED event will be used to fund the operating costs associated with Art Conspiracy’s large scale 2010 fundraiser. This year’s Art Conspiracy will benefit Today Marks the Beginning, a group that uses art to bring public awareness of important social issues and to promote peace and social justice. Currently the group is working to help breast cancer survivors tell their story through art and offers MasterPEACE, a program that helps young artists explore creative solutions to conflict.
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 affordable and they give everyone a chance to purchase original artwork at a reasonable price. Art Conspiracy is a 501c3 organization with IRS nonprofit status (so your donations and auction purchases are tax deductible!)
Since 2005, Art Conspiracy has raised over $70,000 for groups including:
· Resolana, a group that provides rehabilitative arts programming for women in the Dallas County Jail.
· Preservation LINK, an organization that teaches audio and visual media to students in South Dallas and Fair Park
· La Reunion TX, a current sculpture garden and future arts residency on a 30+ acre Oak Cliff site
· St. Anthony Community Center, a center that offers visual art, music and dance to more than 800 children in South Dallas.
