More than 20 local artists have created lanterns from coffee tins collected over the last year from a Dallas coffee shop.Art Conspiracy provided the artists with the tins and they are using their talents to turn them into unique and functional pieces of art.
The money raised during the SEED event will be used to fund the operating costs associated with Art Conspiracy's large scale December fundraiser. The 2009 event will benefit Resolana, an organization that provides rehabilitative arts programming for women in the Dallas County Jail and Dawson State Jail in Dallas.
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!
