For 18 years, Art Conspiracy in Dallas brought together musicians and artists for fundraisers to support local arts groups. Now, the nonprofit is shutting down.
A drop in volunteers, burnout and pandemic challenges have led the nonprofit to shutter.
That meant volunteers were spending considerable time and effort putting together fundraisers on top of their full-time jobs. So in 2019, ArtCon faced a lull with a drop in volunteers and burnout.“It really, really hurt us. In late 2019, we were trying to reconfigure things and start to start to heavily recruit again. Then COVID just cut us off at the knees,” he said.Barry said it’s been a difficult week coming to terms with the end of ArtCon, but he calls the decision “necessary.

It reminded him of the impact the organization has had in North Texas.Arts Access is an arts journalism collaboration powered by The Dallas Morning News and KERA.
