SMASH The ARTS 2023

Once upon a time, the Triangle's artists rarely had an event to celebrate their work. While the area was a whirl of gallery openings, live performances and open mic nights, the artists didn't have a chance to gather, to connect, to network. Our brave art superheroes Networking Girl, Media Man and Terrific TEAL came together to create an annual event where artists could celebrate, network and dream of the future. It is the Triangle's Art Party Of The Year. If you are an artist or work in the arts, you’re invited!
