Discipline Tables

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 and we may be able to give you a table!
