Bid on artwork
Support a day program for adults with special needs. Art Conspiracy 9 is Saturday, Nov. 16, and this year’s beneficiary is My Possibilities. Art Conspiracy is a fundraiser in which 150 artists express themselves on 18-x-18-inch plywood boards. The boards are sold in live auctions, with starting bids of $20, during Art Conspiracy, which this year is from 7-11 p.m. at 500 Singleton Blvd. Tickets cost $10-$125, and the party includes performances by New Fumes, Zhora and DJ Empty Cylinder. My Possibilities is a Collin County-based nonprofit formed in 2008 by three mothers of special needs adults who wanted a way for their children to be contributing members of society. It provides vocational training, socialization opportunities and independent living skills development. Art Con 9 specifically benefits the nonprofit’s Create program, which teaches the fundamentals of drawing, painting, ceramics and photography.
