“This year’s program is an incredible testament to the resilience and passion of the independent arts sector in Sydney. Despite the immense difficulty of the past two years we are uniting to bring you all the work that has been bubbling away under the surface during lockdowns. This is our city’s festival, and a celebration of Sydney stories, so get ready because Fringe is Back and we need you.”
“The Sydney Fringe Festival is an important and exciting event in Sydney’s cultural calendar. It is back bigger and better than ever, a year after Covid caused its cancellation in 2021.With this year’s festival extended by two weeks, allowing a program of more than 500 shows, there is something on offer for everyone. We welcome the return of the Spiegeltent as well as special events for kids and young people. There is also a new micro-festival for artists with disability, comedy and cabaret in pop-up venues around the City, a fabulous closing night party, and much more.”
“This sector has birthed some of Sydney’s best creators who have their own unique artistic signatures, which couldn’t have been formed without early experimentations. These artists create curates and mentors. They bring this custodianship of art to a new Australian identity, allowing space for the next generation to evolve and uphold our nation’s stories.”
“The Sydney Fringe Festival is back and better than ever! Making a triumphant return after two years, the 2022 festival will feature over 500 productions and 2500 artists, spread across nine festival hubs and over 50 participating venues. To accommodate this massive program, the Festival has been extended by an extra two weeks. From small immersive experiences to large scale street parties, this year’s festival will showcase the diversity and energy of our creative community.”
“Happy Fringe Festival from the Inner West. The beating heart of Sydney’s Arts community. We are proud to be a sponsor of the Sydney Fringe Festival and excited that the Sydney Fringe has found a home at Marrickville Town Hall. We wish you all a successful and spectacular Festival and look forward to many more.”
“A very big welcome to the 2022 Sydney Fringe Festival. We’ve worked tirelessly over the years with our colleagues in the independent arts sector, key stakeholders and governments, to champion the work of our artists, venues and creatives to enliven our creative and vibrant City. We are immensely proud of our ongoing advocacy work with governments to find lasting solutions to the issues facing the independent sector. I look forward to sharing this year’s Sydney Fringe Festival with you supporting and celebrating our local artists and venues.”
