This year the Sydney Fringe turns nine. Over the past eight years we have invested in our model, carved out a slice of territory for ourselves on the annual arts calendar and found our voice. While we have been rapidly expanding our international profile, and welcoming more artists from across the seas, our voice remains uniquely Sydney. First and foremost, we are here to highlight, amplify and promote the work of local Sydney based artists to the world.

Sydney’s is a brave, new, imaginative, challenging and experimental voice. Our artists push the boundaries of genre, art form and innovation. Each year we work with our community to transform the landscape of our city into unique experiences not found in Sydney at any other time of the year. From activating unused buildings, unlocking hidden gems and presenting major outdoor activations, the Sydney Fringe Festival connects you to the city in new ways. We are an annual snapshot of how Sydney feels, where we are and where we are heading. It’s new, it’s now and 2018 is shaping up to be bolder than ever before.
