Support the Ashland Fringe Festival!

Inspired by the World Fringe movement and an offspring of the Oregon Fringe Festival, Ashland Fringe is a grassroots organization led by a team of Southern Oregon University alumni thrilled to deepen the community’s connection with bold and unconventional art while the Oregon Fringe Festival goes on hiatus.

Audiences and artists can anticipate the same caliber of high-quality, unique art that hails from a wide variety of disciplines. However, in 2025, the festival will be set up in a way that sparks a sense of community and connection like never before.

During the first weekend in May, Ashland Fringe will put on a free and all-encompassing arts festival that will unite the Rogue Valley community in celebration of unique creativity. This two-day event features unconventional work in an extensive range of disciplines: music, theater, visual art, performance art, dance, storytelling, creative writing, film, and more. While no longer connected to Southern Oregon University’s OFF, Ashland Fringe aims to bolster the voices of both student and professional artists based locally and out of town.

In order to make Ashland Fringe a reality, we need your help to raise funds to cover operating costs, including:
