Art Conspiracy III

[roach]

at the door... alcohol?

---------------

At 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 9, 100 artists will have their work auctioned off in the historic Club-Formerly-Known-As-The-Gypsy-Tearoom now known as The Door.

St. Anthony's Mime Group, Sarah Jaffe, Kristy Kruger, Red Monroe and DJs will play in between the live art auctions.

Art Conspiracy is one-of-a-kind event because participating artists do their work on site the day before. The artists are issued a canvas and given an allotted period of time to complete their work. Artists bring in their own materials and ideas and work to fill as many canvasses as possible in a 24-hour period leading up to the start of the event. Starting bids for all pieces will be $20.

The proceeds from Art Con are reinvested in the local arts economy. This year our beneficiary is St. Anthony’s Community Center, a center that provides arts and music programming to 800+ children who live in South Dallas.

the best thing about this show two years ago is that it was in the old texas theater(where Oswald was captured) and deathray and pleasant grove and BIG OLE PACKAGE!!!!. and byob.

The best thing about last year was the longhorn ballroom. and salim and it seems peter schmidt. the beer was costly. we drank wine in the car.

Take the alcohol away and you are kinda left with not a fun party. blah.

Boycott? I don't really want to give my money to the self-righteous christian scenesters anyway (a.k.a. Door management).

yup. they leveled the old door to make way for new condos. I drove by old tea room last night and there was a line of hip 14 years olds around the corner.

Gone. 4 Eva.

What? About a year ago or so? It's been a while.

THE DOOR took over the space that used to be Gypsy? Front and back?

[roach]

not sure front and back, def the ballroom side. think it was maybe 6 months ago... hmm maybe it was a year. the door just took over in the last couple months.

Rest in peace, sweet gypsy.

I am a bad Forker and a bad Dallas, Texan.

I wonder what happened to all the photo memorabilia on the walls of the Tea Room. There was one picture there that always meant a lot to me.

I'm sure they kept it, street-cred-by-association and all.

They probably just painted little crucafixes around everyone's neck.
