Our mission is to provide the services, support, and resources necessary to cultivate and ensure a vibrant and financially thriving arts business sector.
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.
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.
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.
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.
