Fringe Festival model

A Fringe Festival model is an open-access arts event where a wide range of performers and artists—from emerging talents to established acts—can showcase their work independently. The festival operates on a decentralized structure, with participating venues, artists, and audiences coming together under a shared branding, but with minimal curatorial oversight. This creates a diverse, vibrant environment that encourages experimentation, innovation, and diverse voices. Typically, artists self-produce their shows, and ticket sales often support their efforts directly, fostering a collaborative and community-driven atmosphere.
