Capital Fringe Festival 2007 July 19, 2007

The Second Annual CAPITAL FRINGE FESTIVAL will take place from July 19 - 29, 2007. The FRINGE FESTIVAL's mission is to connect exploratory artists with adventurous audiences by creating an open access annual performing arts festival in the District of Columbia.

The FRINGE FESTIVAL is often the first opportunity for emerging artists based in Washington and beyond to present their work. The FRINGE FESTIVAL provides these artists with formal and informal support through workshops on administration, marketing, fundraising and show production. We aim to train and educate the artists in our fringe to create a stronger self-producing community.

The FRINGE FESTIVAL challenges arts audiences to discover new, risk-taking art, and attracts new non-traditional arts audiences that no other organization does. The uniqueness, variety, and accessibility (low ticket price) of our performances and venues attracts people who might not have been engaged in art before. In doing this The FRINGE FESTIVAL encourages the economic growth and social well being of the city and is a major contributor to the cultural life of Washington.
