Sydney Fringe

Sydney Fringe is a project of the Newtown Entertainment Precinct Association, which includes venues such as Carriageworks, PACT, Seymour Centre, Vanguard, New Theatre, Newtown Theatre, Sidetrack Theatre, Factory Theatre and the Fusebox.

We are an open access arts festival offering a platform for independent practitioners across all creative genres to present their work in an environment of artistic freedom. Sydney�s independent festival for the visual and performing arts. We aim:

To be a festival acclaimed locally, nationally and internationally by artists and audiences alike.

To celebrate and reflect the unique qualities and character of Sydney, particularly our unique home in the Newtown Entertainment Precinct.

To be an inclusive festival that entertains and engages a broad and diverse audience drawn from all sections of the community.

To grow and develop year on year, building a successful and sustainable business model.

Sydney Fringe 2012
7th - 30th September

Sydney Fringe has carved its home in the Inner West as a project of the Newtown Entertainment Precinct, where there is the highest concentration of independent theatres and live performance spaces in Sydney - and the home of more working artists than any other community in Australia.

The red beating heart of Sydney's vital bohemian culture, The Newtown Precinct is a mash up of ethnicity, sexuality and lifestyles. It's the alternative centrepiece of Sydney's culture, inhabited by punks and professors, artists and students and singers - a magnet for all those wanting to try something new, and a dynamic hub of modern urban life.

Along with the Inner East and CBD, this is Fringe Central and home to Five Eliza, The Fringe Club and other key festival events. Beyond this precinct, the Sydney Fringe Empire now extends to a number of far-flung city outposts, including Parramatta and Chatswood and has ambitions to conquer yet more of your city. This is Fringe Local and anyone and everyone can be a part of it!
