promotional marketing for a nonprofit benefit concert — SMASH Benefit Concert 2022: David Bowie Tribute Night

At Polite Society, our connection to the local music industry runs deep. From postering to partnerships we have a fond love of the local scene. We realize that the culture of Seattle wouldn’t be the same without the great organizations and venues that support underserved musicians in the area. We understand that at many turns creativity sometimes falls short of being able to pay the bills in a place with a high cost of living. That’s why we sponsor and support SMASH, Seattle Musicians Access to Sustainable Healthcare. They are one of our favorite non-profits.

SMASH does amazing work for their members all over Western Washington, keeping our music scene thriving and helping musicians with a variety of services. Their free(!) membership helps remove the barriers to medical, dental, hearing, mental health, and medical insurance benefits that otherwise would be difficult to access for those with financial challenges.

Aside from just providing access to their amazing services, being a member of SMASH enters you into a vibrant network of music supporters, healthcare partners and other community organizations, strengthening the bonds within the local music community and beyond. This network includes the UW Speech and Hearing Clinic, Sonic Guild, and the Seattle Drum School just to name a few. SMASH puts on amazing fundraising shows all the time so check their calendar for upcoming events!

Thank you SMASH for all that you do for our community and musicians! We are thrilled to be involved with you and your work.
