It’s time to submit art for Dwell with Dignity’s annual fundraiser, Thrift Studio.
The monthlong pop-up offers artists the opportunity to have their work showcased and available for purchase. All proceeds benefit the nonprofit’s mission to transform lives through design.
Dwell with Dignity was founded by Lakewood neighbor Lisa Robison.
Artists who want to participate should submit an application of original artwork they’d like to donate by 10 p.m. April 15.
Everyone who is selected will receive two tickets to the preview party, scheduled for Aug. 25. Artwork will be discounted 40% off retail price to benefit Dwell with Dignity, and anything not sold at Thrift Studio will be used by the nonprofit in future projects.
Oak Cliff-based artist Molly Odom Magill is the art chair for the event. She is the owner of Cliff and Callahan Studio, which she founded in 2018.
Here’s her bio:
Molly Odom Magill is an artist living in Dallas, Texas. From a family of creative people, artists, writers, poets and musicians, Molly graduated college with a degree in design. Painting became a part of her personal practice after college, as she spent her days as a marketing executive. After 17 years, she left the corporate world and started her art studio in Dallas, Texas – Cliff and Callahan in 2018.
This studio work is connected to an intersection of things – old and new, soft and bold, easy and difficult, simple and complex, rural and urban. Forever influenced by her upbringing in West Texas mixed with life living and raising her kids in Dallas for over 15 years, are combined to link Molly’s work to the idea of the places of her life and that of her family for generations. Embracing these intersections and all the circumstances that bring us to where we are, no matter how unexpected or imperfect the path, drive the work. Connecting Molly’s past in Callahan County with her present in Oak Cliff, from which the name of the studio is derived, come together in all the ways of the work to help us all embrace our authentic expressions of life.
