SMASH! the Arts is the biggest arts industry event of the year, where the Triangle arts community comes together in one place.
Artists and arts administrators
From triangleartworks.org/smashthearts ↗SMASH! is the arts networking party of the year. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with artists and arts administrators, get your questions answered and meet all the area’s art superheroes. Come alone or bring your studio, your troupe, your team and your art friends to this event.
Quick•Connect – it’s like “speed consulting” for artists! It’s the place at SMASH! where you can meet with local experts in fields like finance, marketing, publishing, law, and more. Ask questions and have their undivided attention! You’ll register for your Q•C session at SMASH!
Do you have creative services or resources that the community needs? Are you looking for staff or a certain set of skills? Have a call for artists, or other opportunities to share? Have an event coming up or looking for help on a project? Come prepared by making your flyer for the Have/Need Exchange ahead of time (or make one during the event).
Throughout the event, look for discipline tables where you can meet others in your industry (visual arts, performance arts, arts administrators, and more!) to exchange information about opportunities and challenges relevant to all artists and arts organizations. Want to have a meet-up of, say, textile artists or playwrights at SMASH!, shoot us an email
