ThirstyCanvas was born in Dallas, TX where we hosted a variety of gallery format art events to raise awareness in the importance of the arts and provide funding resources to existing artists and arts organizations. Our first beneficiary was to Art Conspiracy, a Dallas staple and amazing community of artists that grew from a small, "underground"  auction to an extremely successful, yet humble annual event that has helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for area nonprofits.

Finally, after years of rest and relocating to the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, ThirstyCanvas was born again - bringing with it the grit, passion, and energy of our humble beginnings and friends at ArtCon as an annual art auction and event where artists across multiple mediums come together to bring collectors an affordable, high energy, street level, and adrenaline pumping art auction in support of expanding art education and mentorship opportunities to the young artists of Western North Carolina.
