Our artists, venues and producers are the very backbone of Adelaide Fringe. Without them, we wouldn't have a festival! 

With a focus on diversity, innovation, and creativity, 228 grants totalling just over $1,000,000 have been awarded; this funding will help these artists to bring bold and groundbreaking ideas to life at Adelaide Fringe over February and March of next year.

Adelaide Fringe also provides ongoing support to artists through its Arts Industry Collaborations – check them out.

This year’s Grant Recipients have been made possible thanks to donations to Adelaide Fringe Foundation, the Donor Circle, and support from Arts South Australia. If you would like to support future artists and venues, you can donate here.
