Profile Description:
Folkestone Fringe is an artist-led organisation committed to creating opportunities and projects which connect people to each other and the place that we live.
We want our audiences to see, watch, hear, and learn new things – our work includes several annual festivals, as well as one that runs alongside the Creative Folkestone Triennial. Our programmes are created in conversation with others and delivered by young people developing their future working in the arts.
We believe in the transformative power of art – both in a personal sense, and also as a way of highlighting societal issues and driving social change. By creatively empowering individuals, we contribute to making Folkestone an exciting, vibrant, and fulfilling place to live and visit.
