Launched late last year, the Cultural Fund – open to donations from members of the public – aims to ensure there will always be daring and diverse contemporary works in the festival by supporting companies making such work.

‘It’s really about ensuring great work, cutting edge new work, is coming to the Adelaide Fringe, basically. Because I can’t buy that work in,’ said Adelaide Fringe Director Greg Clarke.
