From a press release:
“It is with a heavy heart that Capital Fringe announces it will no longer produce the annual Fringe Festival. We are immensely proud of the impact twenty years of an open-access Fringe Festival has had on DC’s arts scene and are deeply grateful to the artists, audience members, volunteers, community members, festival and program staff and partners who have supported and created with us over the decades. It has truly been extraordinary!
Since its inception in 2005, Capital Fringe has been a cornerstone of Washington, DC’s arts community, fostering creativity and collaboration through its annual open-access Fringe Festival and year-round programming. Over the years, Capital Fringe has engaged 87,000 artists and attracted 497,000 audience members, generated $3,294,714 in artists revenue. Fringe programming efforts have brought the arts to hundreds of established venues as well as vacant properties throughout Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Downtown, and Georgetown. From our founding of operating out of a vacant Italian restaurant, Fringe has achieved remarkable milestones, including raising capital and operating funds to establish a permanent home for the region’s small theater community and independent artists.
