Dunedin Fringe Arts Trust Information

The Dunedin Fringe Arts Trust was formed in 2004 to produce the Dunedin Fringe Festival - a showcase of innovative and experimental contemporary art in all art forms. The Festival was started in 2000 by the Higher Trust as a biennial event in conjunction with the Otago Festival of the Arts. In 2009 the Dunedin Fringe Festival became a stand-alone annual event in March. It is now a major regional event that involves hundreds of participating artists and over 15,000 attendees. The Dunedin Fringe Arts Trust also manages a number of other projects and events. These assist us in maintaining a permanent office and staff. These projects include other events produced by the Dunedin Fringe Arts Trust and short to medium term contracts with other organisations. Other Trust projects produced by the Trust include: - Pecha Kucha Night Dunedin - Chicks Project (a youth music project) - Alter Ego Artists Agency Project contracts include: - the Dunedin Midwinter Carnival - the South Island Dance Network
