Asheboro, NC – Two decades of creativity, resilience, and artistic evolution—Mightier Than The Sword Records is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, and they’re doing it in style! Founded by Ty Brueilly, the label has expanded beyond music, evolving into a platform for fashion, film, and creative collaboration. To mark this milestone, Brueilly and his team have planned monthly events throughout the year, offering opportunities for models, filmmakers, photographers, and artists to connect and create.
A Legacy of Creativity
Since its inception, Mightier Than The Sword Records has been more than just a record label. It has been a breeding ground for innovation across multiple art forms, from award-winning music to independent film and high-concept fashion. Over the past 20 years, Brueilly has worked relentlessly to bridge the gap between creative minds in smaller cities like Asheboro and the larger artistic world.
“We started as a record label, but creativity has no limits,” Brueilly said. “Over the years, we’ve expanded into film, fashion, and community-building. The goal has always been to provide opportunities for artists who don’t always have them.”
Monthly Events to Mark the Occasion
To celebrate 20 years of artistic excellence, Mightier Than The Sword is hosting two signature events each month throughout 2025:
- First Friday Fashion & Photography – A unique opportunity for aspiring and experienced models to showcase Brueilly’s latest fashion designs while working with renowned photographer Josh Pugh at rotating venues.
- Third Thursday Thinktanks – A gathering of filmmakers, writers, actors, and directors looking to collaborate, share ideas, and develop new film projects within the Asheboro area.
These events have already gained momentum, providing consistent opportunities for local creatives to engage with one another in a meaningful way.
“We don’t want this to be a one-time celebration—we’re building something that lasts,” Brueilly emphasized. “Each month is another chance to create, connect, and move forward.”
A Growing Artistic Network
The 20th anniversary celebration is more than just a look back—it’s about paving the way for the future. By hosting these monthly events, Brueilly and his team are working to create a sustainable artistic community in Randolph County, where creatives don’t have to leave town to find opportunities.
Josh Pugh, a key collaborator, highlighted the importance of these events: “I don’t think people realize how much talent exists in Randolph County. With these events, people are starting to see it, and I think we’re just scratching the surface.”
What’s Next for Mightier Than The Sword?
As the year unfolds, expect more collaborations, pop-up showcases, and opportunities for artists to make their mark. The 20th anniversary is not just about celebrating the past—it’s about laying the foundation for another two decades of creativity and impact.
