Item Description

Fringe Festival has provided two 6-show passes and two buttons for their festival on November 19-23.

Fringe is more than a festival. We've got big ideas and a big vision that is about art, community and the cultural economy:

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION

New Orleans has always been a city that embraces artists, where creativity has flourished and the avant-garde has gravitated. These are the roots of the New Orleans Fringe Festival – the festival of the wild, weird, fresh, and original. Anything can be performed: we let the audiences decide what is excellent, astonishing or brilliantly insane.

COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING

The New Orleans Fringe Festival is a year-round community connector: we bring venues, resources, artists and audiences together for events that contribute to the cultural strengthening and renewal of New Orleans. We plan to do this through several activities:

-The annual Festival
-Year-round events
-Outreach programs
-Theater training workshops

CULTURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The New Orleans Fringe Festival contributes to the local and regional cultural economy by: 
-Attracting regional, national and international theater groups and audiences to the city during the festival and events
-Generating income for local artists and venues through ticket sales and fees
-Providing emerging artists with opportunities to showcase their talent and exposure to launch their work
-Nurturing the growing pool of creative and technical talent in New Orleans and Louisiana in order to complement and enhance mainstream cultural economic development initiatives.

Three Core Principles: fringiness, quality, inclusiveness
We have have three core principles:

-Fringiness
-Quality
-Inclusiveness

These aren't just abstract ideas to us....we do our very best to put these principles into practice in what we do and the decisions that we make.
