2018 marks the thirteenth year of SPARKcon! This year will feature over 200 showcases and events within the world of art, dance, design, music, comedy, circus, and more. 

Each segment of the creative community plans their own “SPARKs” to showcase their talent. SPARKcon’s goal is to connect and educate emerging, creative leaders through training, interdisciplinary collaboration, and an open source structure leading to the creation of a unique four-day creativity explosion in Downtown Raleigh.
