Melbourne Fringe is thrilled to offer $10,000 to $20,000 commissions for artists to premiere new works in this year’s Festival. This opportunity is open to any artist or collective based in Victoria, working in any artform. We are especially keen to hear from creative leads who are First Nations, Deaf, Disabled, People of Colour and/or transgender. The base commission is $10,000, with the potential for an additional $2,500 – $10,000 for projects that are highly ambitious and require further investment to bring to life.
The successful artist will receive:
- 10,000 to $20,000 cash from the Fringe Fund to produce and present
your new idea
