Who We Are
Our mission is to provide the services, support, and resources necessary to cultivate and ensure a thriving arts community in the Triangle region of North Carolina.
We Believe
That the arts are an inclusive group
Everyone is welcome in the ArtWorks community, no matter your age, race, gender, artistic discipline, business level, or experience. We provide opportunities for this diverse community to interact and to support each other.
That services for working artists should be easily accessible
Artists want to focus on their craft, but many need help making their craft into a business. We aim to make it easy to find services and resources tailored to their business needs.
That artists deserve a voice
While the arts are a source of major economic activity, artists aren’t always respected as professionals. We advocate for the public, economic and political voice of this crucial business sector.
That art is work.
Art is a passion but it’s also a serious discipline that takes effort, time, and skill to develop. As professionals, artists must be compensated fairly for their work. We help artists achieve this.
What We Do
Triangle ArtWorks is a nonprofit organization 501 C 3 working to provide a platform that amplifies the voice of the arts community in Triangle region of North Carolina.
Since 2010, Triangle ArtWorks has been providing services, support, and professional business development for the arts sector across all artistic disciplines in all five counties of the Triangle.
Through our network, we bring the area’s artists, businesses, and nonprofits together, connecting them to resources and to each other. Triangle ArtWorks is where artists can come together, without judgment, and become part of something bigger.
Testimonials
The only way for the arts to truly innovate and grow in the Triangle is to work together. As the region grows, we have to start thinking more collaboratively and outside of our boxes, whether those "boxes" are geographic or disciplines such as theater or visual art. Triangle ArtWorks plays such an important role in our local arts community because they are the only organization dedicated to convening and building capacity in the arts on a regional level, helping us all get to the next level.
