The Mendocino County Tourism Commission is organizing a month-long arts festival in April, 2017 along the “main travel corridors” of the county, including the north and south coasts, the 101 inland corridor, and the 128 corridor. The festival will be “loosely” based on the international Fringe Art movement and the Commission is seeking a wide range of “site-specific” art “happenings” from local venues and local artists. Other places have developed examples of “fringe arts” festivals, including Philadelphia, Asheville, and Houston, which involve multiple artists across different disciplines working to create specific art works for local venues over multiples days.
Participation is free but the online registration form must be completed by January 20. For more information, see the announcement below or contact the Commission at the email or phone number listed below.
Loosely based on the international Fringe Art movement, this month-long festival will celebrate all the arts happening in April 2017 within the main travel corridors of Mendocino County. We encourage venues of all sizes to partner with performing and visual artists, and arts organizations, in innovative and unexpected ways to create site-specific art “happenings” that are FUN, EXCITING and/or DARING… From traditional to cutting-edge, Almost Fringe welcomes your participation!
