Submissions Now Being Accepted for 2015 Atlanta Fringe Festival

The Atlanta Fringe Festival has announced that submissions are now open for the fourth annual festival, set to run June 3-7, 2015. Now until January 5, 2015, artists of every discipline can apply with a nominal investment: $25 application fee and $250 production fee, if selected. As always, Atlanta Fringe's lineup will be determined via unjuried lottery. The application and more details can be found at www.atlantafringe.org.

Entering its fourth year of connecting intrepid self-producing artists with adventurous audiences, Atlanta Fringe can now offer more money to participating artists thanks to increased funding from generous donors! Artist payouts will increase from 75% to 85% of their ticket revenue, after taxes.

"We love that we're now in a position to give back even more to our artists," says Executive Director Diana Brown. "With a full 85% of the box office going right into their pockets, they have a real opportunity to create rad art in a safe space AND make money from it."

Other popular events surrounding the festival return for the fourth year as well, including a Reveal Party in early February (with preview performances from select 2015 artists), a family-friendly Easter-themed Art Hunt in March, as well as opening and closing night parties surrounding the festival itself. This November, Fringe will also bring back Canadian monologuist Cameryn Moore after last year's successful debut of the curated Atlanta Fringe Presents program.

The only festival on the international circuit with an audio component, Atlanta Fringe will once again feature Audio Fringe, an internet broadcast of radio plays and recorded stories via their podcasting network. Last year's audio artists were streamed over 1,200 times, from countries as far away as Australia, Japan, Thailand and Argentina. The 2015 audio submission information will be announced later this month.?
