Support for artists and venues during October Fringe

This funding will take the form of small grants to cover participation fees for artists, with an additional contribution to venues based on the number of live, in-person events they are hosting at the festival, which runs until 31 October (with some events continuing on until 9 November).

Jamie Arnell, Trustee of The Pebble Trust and Chair of the Brighton Fringe board said: “We are delighted to support Brighton Fringe in recognising the courage and determination of artists and venues to get live work back in front of audiences, both physically and digitally, this October. We can easily forget how lucky we are to have such a stubbornly optimistic arts community in our city. The way we see it: you can get too much of Netflix, but you can never get enough of the Fringe! Thanks so much to those who have taken the plunge and entertained us this autumn.”
