artist call out for 2025 fringe - now closed​​​
Thank you to everyone who applied to the 2025 Southampton Fringe! We truly appreciate your interest and support. We are currently in the process of contacting all applicants. Thanks again for your applications!​​
The aim for the festival is to not only showcase the superb artists of Southampton, but to also improve access to the arts and live entertainment for the entire city. By using popular venues within the city centre, we aim to programme events in accessible and familiar venues for the city’s residents.
​
‘Bringing local artists into the spotlight and national talent to our stages’
Our main objective for the festival is for this to be the start of long-lasting culture event. We want to engage much more of the city than have previously attended arts events.
​
We have performances that are at various stages of production. We would like for performances that are at a more infant stage to use the festival as a spring board for further development and performances.
