By the end of the evening, the event had raised nearly $1.5 million, pushing the gala’s total impact to more than $14 million over its 11-year run.

One of Dallas’ most popular spring fundraising "shopportunities" is back for a milestone 15th year: Dwell with Dignity will present the The Studio (formerly Thrift Studio), a month-long pop-up filled with high-end home décor at deep discounts, April 10-May 9.

Now a decade-and-a-half old, The Studio - located in the Design District - features fully designer-styled, shoppable room vignettes by top designers, offering a unique chance to buy designer pieces straight off the floor.

All proceeds go to Dwell with Dignity, which provides and installs interiors for individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness across greater North Texas. Since its inception, Dwell with Dignity has completed more than 285 home design projects and 55 community spaces, and in 2025 the organization served more than 3,000 people through its home and community projects.

The Studio generates about one-third of the organization’s annual operating revenue.

Shoppers will find furniture, artwork, housewares, and accessories - all donated or specially sourced - with 100 percent of proceeds going back to the nonprofit.

The 2026 event is chaired by Jean Liu, Jean Liu Design, with Art Chair Kendall Bardin, and the designer lineup includes:

  • Ashleigh Graber Design
  • Graham + Co Interiors | Sarah Graham
  • Living Luxury Lab by MxD Interiors
  • Roco and Xander by Amara Home Designs
  • Studio 11 Design
  • Studio Thomas James
  • Yates Desygn

“The Studio is our flagship fundraiser and a critical driver of our mission to transform lives through design,” says Teresa Charnock, executive director of Dwell with Dignity, in a release. “Dwell with Dignity provides families with renovated fully furnished home interiors that give stability, support and comfort to empower them to lead their best lives in a beautiful environment. When someone shops at The Studio, they are directly supporting that work."

Returning as presenting sponsor, Amazon has helped the event generate more than $1.5 million in merchandise sales, supporting home transformations for 72 families and redesigning 21 community spaces.

The 2026 event begins with a ticketed VIP Premiere Party on April 9, followed by free public shopping from April 10-May 9 at its Dallas Design District location, 1833 E. Levee St., Dallas.

The VIP Premiere Party will take place April 9 from 6-9 pm, with tickets ranging from $200-$350.

The Studio pop-up will be open 10 am-5 pm Tuesday-Saturday, April 10-May 9 with free admission.
