So you want my arts job: Fringe Festival Director

Kerri Glasscock discusses the skills required to helm NSW’s largest independent arts festival.

Starting out as a country girl with big dreams and a passion for acting, CEO and Festival Director of Sydney Fringe, Kerri Glasscock, is a force to be reckoned with. She is the founding co-director of artist-run company 505 and in 2011, was named in the ‘100 Most Influential and Inspiring People’ list by the Sydney Morning Herald.

While being a leader in the independent sector, Glasscock looks forward to more nuanced and localised approaches in the festival landscape as Sydney Fringe makes a physical comeback in September.
