Support Our Mission

KC Fringe Festival champions creative expression by
empowering artists to produce bold and innovative work
through an annual visual and performing arts festival
that is accessible and affordable for all.

KC Fringe Festival wouldn’t run without
the help from our amazing volunteers.
With 16 full days of amazing shows and
several additional special events,
it takes multiple teams to help organize,
set up, break down and run the show
for our festival here in Kansas City.

The KC Fringe is the largest celebration of arts and culture
in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Returning live for a two-week
explosion of performance, visual arts exhibitions, and events that
showcase the work of local, national, and international artists. The
mostly volunteer-run organization has been supporting artists,
cultivating creators, and attracting adventurous audiences since July 2005.
