Marketing & Social Media Intern - Post Secondary Students

Organization:

Vancouver Fringe Theatre Society

Deadline:

May. 22, 2024

Organization Description:

Fringe Festivals serve as an inclusive space for all artists, whether emerging or established, providing a space for them to showcase their work. The festivals are uncurated, meaning the artists are chosen through a lottery draw. Artists pay a nominal fee to participate and receive subsidies that cover the remainder of costs. Artists also receive all the profits from ticket sales. This ‘artist-first’ approach fosters an environment of true creativity and experimentation.

The Vancouver Fringe Theatre Society was formed in 1983 by a group of local artists who had a common goal: to provide a platform for independent artists. The society held its first Fringe Festival in 1985. We now hold the annual Vancouver Fringe Festival every September. Through our work we aim to foster a dynamic community of independent and emerging live performance through artistic development, arts advocacy, and the platform of an annual Festival.
