Art Conspiracy 4 - Oh What a Night!!!

I have been groggy the last couple of days trying to decide what to say about Art Con 4 and then it donned on me. The show of kindness and generosity has rendered me completely speechless. I feel honored to be the Art Coordinator of such an inspiring adventure.  The amount of people that came together to pull this one off was beautiful to see. I personally could never thank everyone enough for being so awesome. Regardless of what anyone ever says about Dallas, you will never convince this gal that it is anything but magical and amazing!  I would like to give an extra shout out to: Cari Weinberg, Andrea Roberts, Ange Fitzgerald, Courtney Miles, The Art Con Board(Sarah Jane Semrad, Bill Holston, Jeff Allsup, Serena Wills, Mike Arreaga, Jason Roberts) Stephen Hartzler, Erik and Aaron Glissman, Edward Ruiz + Robert the  16mm kid, Jill Broussard + Fred Holston, the amazing bullhorn barkers (Rob, Rob, Mike, Suzanne, Paul and Jason), Karla Garcia and all the art handlers, Angela Faz, Robbie Michael, Paul Slavens, The Chameleon Chamber Group, Aton, Mount Righteous, every volunteer and so many more.... I can not begin to acknowledge my gratitude to each and every one of you!

Here is a link to a short video put together from one of our amazing volunteers the outstanding Cindy Chaffin!

Bring on the Artists! Art Conspiracy 4 is Ready

Well after months and months of meetings we arrived at "Hell Week" last Saturday. The only thing is there has been nothing hellish about it. I truly love watching a great community rise to the occasion. This week has been tiring, cold and constant but wonderful. We started with a warehouse that was dark and dusty. After loads of lumber, screws, brooms, electrical work and dust pans there is this space that is ready to have art created in it. Starting in about 8 hours the first shift of artists will carry in there supplies. In about 48 hours it will all be over. I hope that everyone is ready to Deconstruct and take a journey for a great cause! I know that I am. I truly love my city and all that we are capable of!
