Inspired by the World Fringe Movement, Ashland Fringe is an offspring of the 11 year old Oregon Fringe Festival. Ashland Fringe is a grassroots organization led by a team of Southern Oregon University alumni. We aim to bolster under-represented voices and connect artists and audiences from all walks of life to bold expression. The festival, a free and all encompassing arts event, will unite the Rogue Valley community in celebration of unique creativity produced by professional and student artists, both local and visiting. Over the course of three days, artists and the commuxnity will come together to showcase original work in an extensive range of disciplines; music, theater, visual art, performance art, dance, story-telling, creative writing, film and more.
