SMASH HOLIDAY AUCTION


Grab your sleigh bells, your Santa hats, and a hefty ol’ dose of holiday cheer because it’s time to give the gift that keeps on giving: healthcare for musicians! This year, SMASH presents an online holiday auction benefiting the local musicians who bring magic to your life all year round.


Don’t leave our beloved, hardworking musicians out in the cold this holiday season! Let’s give back to those who give us so much!

Remember when, if you wanted to find out what shows were coming up in Seattle, you’d open up The Rocket or, later, The Stranger and find all the venue’s concert calendars in one easy-to-find place? Those were the days.


Many have tried to recreate this vital resource, and someone finally has! Run by Kay Redden, founder of Dentapes, and Mike Sampson, a local musician, Showlist Seattle is your straightforward guide to live music around town. If you like the resource, pitch in a few bucks to keep them around.

Together, We Can Build a Healthier Future for Music


Seattle’s musicians give so much to our community—now it’s our turn to give back. Your donation to SMASH provides local artists access to affordable healthcare, mental health resources, and vital support services, helping them thrive both on and off the stage. Together, we can ensure the music never stops.


When you make a tax-deductible gift to SMASH, you directly impact our capacity to serve current members, expand programs and services, and support even more musicians in our area.

Your gift can shape the future of our city's music scene. 

 

Behind the scenes of your favorite albums, far too many musicians are struggling to afford the healthcare they need to stay healthy and make music. When basic needs like routine physicals, mental health support, dental care, and glasses are often inaccessible, it is extremely difficult to sustain a music career. And without help, the music that has defined our city for decades could fade.
