The National Arts Festival will take place between 23 June and 3 July 2022.
Artists and producers are invited to submit applications to present work on the National Arts Festival Fringe in Makhanda in 2022.
BE PART OF THE FESTIVAL FRINGE IN 2022
Our approach to receiving your proposals to present work on the Fringe has changed. This Expression of Interest form is our engagement with fringe artists and producers. As you know, the feasibility of hosting a live festival will depend on South Africa’s status with regard to COVID-19 regulations. The Festival team is also still establishing what venues may be available for the Festival given the disruptions to the school and university calendars.
This form invites you to express your interest in participating in the Fringe 2022, either live or digitally, and give us some information about what work you are considering presenting on this year’s Fringe.
In response to your Expression of Interest, we will secure venues for the presentation of live work in Makhanda. We understand that the past two years have been challenging for many artists, and for our industry as a whole, and we would like to continue to support everyone to the best of our ability. As a result, please note the following Fringe artists’ costs for 2022.
