Adelaide Fringe has announced the appointment of Emily Farrell to its Board of Directors. Farrell brings a globally informed perspective to Adelaide Fringe, shaped by her career in law, industrial relations, government relations, and public policy in Australia and the United States.

After earning a Bachelor of Law from the University of Adelaide, she relocated to New York, where she worked for six years in nonprofit legal advocacy and at a leading U.S. immigration law firm. There, she supported artists, designers, entrepreneurs and entertainers on complex visa matters – experience that aligns directly with Adelaide Fringe’s ambitions to grow international engagement and attract global talent to South Australia.
