so it begins…
A bit of history... Our organizations’ unique partnership has produced seven memorable, highly successful ArtsMarkets full of inspiring artistic performances, extraordinary opportunities for professional growth and just a few natural disasters along the way that have bound us together forever. (Ask about blizzards, ice storms, floods and talking pit bulls in the dining room.). Over the years, ArtsMarket has earned a reputation for being welcoming, informative, scrappy, accessible, worthwhile, inspirational, a great value – and fun. While ArtsMarket was initially designed as a primary resource for mid-sized to small presenters in and near NC, especially those who do not have consistent opportunities to attend national and regional conferences, the event has grown to merit active participation by presenting organizations of all sizes from a continually growing region. Exhibitors include artists and artist representatives from around the country and beyond. ArtsMarket2011 welcomed 191 presenter delegates representing 100 presenting organizations from DE, FL, GA, MA, MD, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, VA & Canada. Our capacity 150 exhibitor booths represented a total of 248 exhibitor delegates registered. We featured 39 jury-selected showcases from more than 200 showcase applications, with 150+ performing artists on site at the event. Yet the conference, through the help of the NC Arts Council, has remained remarkably affordable and accessible to all. |
