About The Fringe

The Benefits

We offer a FREE platform to try out new work, increase your audiences, gain reputation and enhance exposure to industry professionals. You will meet and build relationships with like-minded arts professionals and have fun along the way.

This enables the Fringe to support you in developing new audiences and linking all participating parties together in an exciting celebration of the arts.

Here’s what we can offer you:

The Application Process

To begin your creative application to the British Art Show 8 Fringe, click here.

While filling out the application form please keep in mind that the way in which you present your event is exactly how it will be promoted. Take care to provide descriptions and information that you are happy to be presented to the public. Remember – your application can be edited after submission.

Once you have submitted the application form, please submit via email 1-3 photos that you would like to be used to promote your event. Please do not attach posters or photos with logos or text. For use on the websites, the photos must be below 1MB, however the bigger the better under that size. Landscape images are preferable. If you are unsure how to respond to these requirements, send the largest image you have. You can email these photos to [email protected]. If you do not have an image, you will be able to use the BAS Fringe holding image.

Finally, you are welcome to join the British Art Show 8 Fringe Forum group on Facebook. This will enable you to converse with other Fringe artists and ask any questions you may have. This group is an important part of making the Fringe the best it can be. We believe in making the Fringe as open access as possible, so if you do not have a clear vision of your own event but you would still love to be creatively involved with someone else’s, you still can!
