SUPPORT THE ARTS - SPONSOR SMASH! 2026

SUPPORT THE ARTS - SPONSOR SMASH! 2026

SMASH! the Arts is the biggest arts industry event of the year, where the Triangle arts community comes together in one place. They connect, hug, share ideas, and simply kick off their New Year together. Networking at SMASH! helps artists and employees in the arts sector grow and connect both as artists and businesses. SMASH! also allows this hard-working group - many of whom work alone in studios or in small staffed organizations - recognize they are part of something much bigger: a dynamic business sector that positively impacts life in the Triangle.

At SMASH!, attendees connect with others in their discipline or across disciplines, share skills and resources, and sit down for Quick•Connect speed sessions with business and content experts, and wrapped in the trappings of an arts party - food, drink, and fun! Your support of SMASH! gets your name in front of (literally) hundreds of Triangle artists and shows them that you support the work they do. SMASH! sponsorship creates a lasting impression!
