2020 Registration Options
Independent artists are among some of those most impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic, and FringeArts is doing what we can to support artists in this difficult time. We have made the decision to waive registration fees for the 2020 Fringe Festival, save for a $20 processing fee that goes directly to our new registration platform, Eventotron. This $20 is refundable, should you have to cancel your show prior to June 15.
This year, we will be splitting Fringe Festival programming into several presentation methods based on audience experience:
Live Stream Watch – Stream at a certain time, users can interact in chat with moderators and watch content communally
Live Stream Interactive – Cameras on, audiences are a part of the piece, beyond the chat function. Audience as participant with the option for non-participating viewers. Can include workshops.
Available Anytime – Videos, tours, podcasts, galleries, etc posted online. Work that is always available and can be accessed at the audience’s leisure.
IRL (In Real Life) – Safely social distanced performances/events that occur in person. Artist must submit a proposal for any in-person performances
