Art Con Season Kicks Off With This Weekend’s Seed Auction

Art Conspiracy, the annual art auction/music party/hell of a good time, takes place each year in October. To throw the event, organizers hold a summer auction each year to raise the money for the main affair. It is hard to decide which one is more fun. The full-blown Art Conspiracy features hundreds of local artists/non-artists/wannabe artists creating work in a all-out warehouse extravaganza. Seed, a more intimate music and art affair, features creative concoction by a number of local artists, usually based around a theme or a material. This year the theme is Better Gnomes and Gardens, and the Art Con Artists have created send offs to iconic garden kitsch. After the jump, full details.
