About Tucson Fringe

The Tucson Fringe Festival is an unjuried, uncensored performing arts festival founded in 2011. Following international fringe tenets, the festival provides artists with low-risk, low-cost opportunities to perform by using economies of scale to reduce venue rental costs and by taking 0% of the artist's earnings. Additionally, the festival also provides the Tucson arts community with avant-garde, non-traditional performing arts at very low ticket prices. Finally, the festival does not curate or select the performances, maintaining an environment in which everyone and anyone can perform. This ensures that underrepresented artistic voices are championed in our community. 

 

In the eight years of festival operation, Tucson Fringe Festival has provided the means for over 100 artists to produce over 500 performances in 8 downtown venues to thousands of audience members. In eight years, Fringe has returned over $28,000 to the artists. Visit www.tucsonfringe.org for more information.

 

About The Fringe Concept

In 1947, a group of eight theatre groups showed up uninvited to the Edinburgh International Festival and performed, literally, on the fringes of the festival.  Since then, Fringe Festivals have cropped up all over the world, including in every major city in the United States. While no one body owns the name Fringe or governs the festivals, the concept is the same from city to city - provide a low-cost opportunity for artists to take risks and cultivate a forum for expression of the arts specific to the community in which it is created.
