The next Asheville Fringe Arts Festival will take place March 15-22, 2026. We accept live performances from 5 to 60 minutes in length, plus installations. We’re open to other types of performance as well - let’s talk! Depending on its length, your piece may be grouped with another show, or scheduled as a Random Act of Fringe. RAFs are performed once, are free and open to the public, and artists receive a stipend for their performance, rather than relying on door sales.
Application Deadline: September 30th, 2025
