About this user
Adelaide Fringe Inc presents an internationally renowned, open-access, three week independent arts Fringe festival for artists to present their work and audiences to engage and interact with the arts. Traditionally held biennially, 2007 saw the start of an exciting new era as with the Adelaide Fringe going annual.
To be a part of the Adelaide Fringe program, artists pay a one off registration fee to the Fringe as well as pay the presentation costs of their performance/season/event/exhibition.
To help participating artists present their work, the Adelaide Fringe provides information and wherever possible facilitates. There are also many opportunities for participation and promotion through Adelaide Fringe initiatives such as the much celebrated Opening Night Parade & Party and Family Day.
Then
The first Fringe event was in 1960, a few artists took exception to the exclusion of many artists from the Adelaide Festival and staged their own event. From these humble beginnings, the Fringe grew and grew...and grew and then became an incorporated association in 1975. It continues to grow....and grow...
Now
Today, the Fringe is an undisputed presence in Adelaide. Although the Fringe and Festival are inextricably linked, in the chronological sense, they are two completely separate operating organisations with different philosophies and intent. In 2004, WOMADelaide joined in the fun -- normally staged in the odd years (what do you mean odd?) it was announced in 2003 that it would be an annual event. While WOMADelaide is no stranger to Adelaide, this was the first year since it's inception that it coincided with the Fringe and Festival. Together, the three events create an exhilarating buzz across the city with traditional and experimental events offered in all artforms.
