What a Great Year!

It just keeps getting better! Last Fringe, Kansas City saw 368 performances in just 11 days! Fringe 2011 presented 115 entries at 18 venues in the heart of our town. Those innovative performances featured 455 artists, most of them local performers. More arts lovers joined the festival audience than ever before, with 24% higher attendance than Fringe 2010.

As Fringe continues to grow, make sure your friends don't miss out on the creative explosion of Fringe 2012!

This holiday season, support emerging, experimental art: Donate to the KC Fringe Festival.

"....Kansas City's 11-day Fringe festival is everything dreamed of in an arts festival, offering visual arts, theater, music, fashion, and performance." -KC Star Editorial Staff

In 2011, we helped 455 artists; now we need your help. The Fringe Festival is a miracle born of passion, hard work, amazing volunteerism and contributions from Fringe fans like your self. Our all-volunteer staff dedicates hundreds of hours to ensure KC is on the leading edge of experimental, new and creative theatrical and arts offerings. All the money from ticket sales goes to support the artists and pay the venues. The funds we take in from merchandise and button sales cover only 20% of our operating costs.

That's where you come in. When you make a gift of $100, $150 or another amount to the KC Fringe this holiday season, you're part of the inner circle, helping to continue our seven-year tradition of outstanding artistic offerings.

Take a moment now to make your donation—no amount is too big or too small.

Iron Artist Winner!

Congratulations to our first annual Iron Artist competition Chadd Williams. Chad is also the artist that created our 2011 festival artwork that appears on the t-shirts and buttons. While not a sous chef for Taste Catering at Terrace on Grand, Chadd like to spend his time painting as much as possible.
