This was my first year attending SMASH! and had no clue what to expect but it was so much better than i could have imagined! The staff were all so friendly and helpful and I met amazing artists from all over the world. The food, music and vibes were so good. I'll definitely be back! ~ mira roy

SMASH! was an incredibly fun and productive time for us. There's no denying that our programming will benefit from the connections that were made! -Marie Neal, The Halle Cultural Arts Center

SMASH is the annual must-attend event for everyone arts-engaged person in the Triangle. As an organization that supports artists, I enjoyed sharing with individuals how they can become more connected in our local arts community! -April

SMASH! is the premiere arts mixer in the Triangle. It's the biggest and best large-group networking event in the industry. There's no better place to connect with potential collaborators. I rubbed elbows, literally, with hundreds of great artists and administrators from the area. Every discipline was represented. Triangle Artworks rocked it! -- Greg Whitt at Drum For Change

For an artist in the triangle area you must attend the next SMASH!, I left the affair with a renewed sense of purpose and highly motivated. Met great people. - Survey response.

"SMASH! is the Research Triangle's must-attend Art Party, bringing together artists to celebrate, share resources, and envision their futures. With Triangle Artworks at the helm, this dynamic event creates an energized space for artists to gather, dream, and exchange ideas, offering innovative services like speed legal consulting and a have-needs bulletin, all within a vibrant and secure atmosphere. It's an unmissable gathering that you absolutely must experience – so be sure to get a good night's sleep before joining in the excitement!" - John Blanco
