Funds to support the creation of new work by independent artists have been allocated to Melbourne Fringe in the Victorian state budget 2021-2022.
The budget, handed down on Thursday 20 May, includes $250,000 a year over the next four years for Melbourne Fringe.
This $1 million investment will enable Melbourne Fringe to commission a series of works by independent artists, with outcomes presented at the Melbourne Fringe Festival each October, at year-round venue Fringe Common Rooms at Trades Hall, and on the Digital Fringe platform online.
