ArtsMarket 2025 Conference Profile

ArtsMarket is an annual three-day conference co-produced by the North Carolina Presenters Consortium and the North Carolina Arts Council, drawing hundreds of performing arts presenters, agents, performing artists, vendors, and service providers to downtown Durham, North Carolina. ArtsMarket’s single-track format provides numerous opportunities for connection and excellent value to attendees from the Southeastern U.S. and beyond.

Our shared belief is that presenting is an act of collaboration and we have designed the event to foster community and work together toward the common goal of bringing artists and audiences together for live performances. 

Performing artists of ALL disciplines are encouraged to apply (music, dance, theater, children’s/educational, magic, comedy, variety, professional speakers, etc.) as we are committed to presenting a wide range of diverse performances.

Recent attendees have said:

"One of the best conferences I have been to.”

"It opened the door for us in many ways."

"The staff was instrumental in helping me to prepare since this was my first time showcasing."
