Audiences everywhere can now purchase tickets and enjoy online entertainment from their favourite local and international Fringe artists, in the comfort of their home.
Announced last month, Adelaide FringeVIEW has been developed to provide a virtual stage for artists to perform on during the COVID-19 crisis.
The online platform has been designed as an experiment to create new income stream for artists still looking to perform while restrictions are in place, with audiences asked to buy a ticket and help support the industry.
Artists from a range of genres including circus, comedy, music, dance and food and lifestyle have uploaded video content as a Fringe event on the Adelaide FringeVIEW platform.
More than 60 events are now live and ready to watch. Expect performances from artists like Australian actor, singer and performer Hugh Sheridan, Adelaide Fringe favourite Tash York and comedian Greg Fleet, as well as shows like Orpheus and Escape from Trash Mountain.
Adelaide Fringe Director and CEO Heather Croall said she was thrilled to officially launch Adelaide FringeVIEW to the general public.
“It’s been wonderful to see the variety of artists register for FringeVIEW since announcing the initiative last month,” she said.
“This is all about providing a digital platform that will help support our artists to showcase their talents to audiences in what’s been a very difficult and uncertain time for the arts industry overall.
“FringeVIEW is free for artists anywhere to register. If you haven’t already, please join us to provide online entertainment for people to enjoy while they have to stay at home. We also encourage members of the public to get behind our artists and support them by purchasing a ticket to watch their works.”
BankSA has announced it has come on-board as Presenting Partner of Adelaide FringeVIEW.
“BankSA has been backing Adelaide Fringe as Principal Partner for the past 15 years with a focus on making performances accessible to more people and supporting artists,” said BankSA Chief Executive, Nick Reade.
“We are pleased to put our support behind this fantastic initiative that will help to support many artists that have been impacted as a result of COVID-19, while delivering a fantastic array of entertainment to people’s living rooms.”
Adelaide FringeVIEW is strictly a pilot program and will be reviewed upon completion at the end of May. Registrations are free and all proceeds from ticket sales are given back to the artist.
