What does being a Fringe Artist mean? The Sydney Fringe is Your Festival – the community of artists develops, creates and produces the shows and events.
We are an Open Access arts festival, which means that anyone can put on a show as part of the festival in September. We encourage applicants of every genre: dance, music, theatre, comedy, circus, cabaret. The more nuanced the better.
There is no selection process, you simply need to register your event. Our artist team will be on hand to help you through the process.
