Each spring, the Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University produces the Oregon Fringe Festival, a multi-day event celebrating bold, innovative, and outrageous creativity in the arts.

The festival is first and foremost a crossroads for emerging artists and professional practitioners to engage with each other’s creative work. Our roster includes music, theatre, visual art, film, physical theatre, dance, circus, spoken word, and more, as well as panels and workshops for students and the greater community.

Now in its eleventh year, the Oregon Fringe Festival is aligned with the rich history of The Fringe, an international movement exploring our innate creative spirit. The Oregon Fringe Festival is committed to providing a boundary-breaking platform for free expression that amplifies the voices of those who are all too unrepresented in the creative arts industry. A lens focusing on equity, diversity, and inclusion will filter our selection process for all applications that are submitted.

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to participate. If you are a person with a disability who requires accommodation(s) in order to participate in this festival, then please contact Disability Resources at DSS@sou.edu in advance. 

The Oregon Fringe Festival is free and open to the public. For more information about what is taking place during the rest of the festival, please visit http://www.oregonfringefestival.org. For questions, please email oregonfringe@sou.edu.
