Fringe Fund – Show Starter Commissions (EOI)

Grant Description

The Fringe Fund – Show Starter Commissions is a pitch-driven commissioning opportunity delivered by Melbourne Fringe to support Victorian artists creating new, ambitious performance works for premiere at the 2026 Melbourne Fringe Festival. Artists submit an expression of interest outlining a creative project idea and, if shortlisted, may be matched with funders through Melbourne Fringe’s donor network. Successful projects can receive up to $10,000 to help realise new work that pushes creative boundaries and contributes to contemporary artistic discourse. The initiative focuses on supporting independent artists with established practice to develop bold and innovative work that premieres during the festival.
