Taking Part
Since the very first Fringe, venues across the city and surrounds have been supporting artists by providing or transforming their venues into visual and performing art spaces.
Their reasons for doing so include:
• To increase awareness of the venue/business and exposure to new clientele
• To complement and develop normal venue programming and operations
• To present own work
• To gain experience in hosting arts events
• The potential of increased revenue through sales
• To facilitate networks with artists and the arts community
• To get publicity through the printed Fringe Guide, FringeTIX,
Adelaide Fringe iPhone App and artists’ marketing material
• For fun.
Who can be a Fringe Venue?
Due to the variety of artists that register to take part in Adelaide Fringe, a huge variety of venues are needed to meet artists’ individual requirements.
In 2011, over 300 venues opened their doors to Fringe performing and visual artists. Venues ranged from traditional theatres, functions rooms of pubs, outdoor temporary venues, churches, vacant buildings & shop fronts, a railway station and a top floor of a car park.
