Fringe Fest Kick Off

We are thrilled to bring a preview of the 18th annual Asheville Fringe Arts Festival to Fleetwood’s in West Asheville on Saturday, January 11th, 7 to 9 pm, free and co-hosted by 103.3 AshevilleFM. Get a taste of Fringe dance, installation and music from the edges, and grab one of the freshly printed festival guides!

One week ahead of the festival, you’ll get a chance to talk to artists and organizers, and plan which of the 100+ shows, 55+ artists and 15+ venues you will visit. We recommend fully immersing yourself! It’s a community, an international movement, an adventure!

Do you take this performance art to be your love-fully wedded Fringe favorite? Site-specific dance troupe Accidentals Asheville will be performing a fun, wedding themed interactive piece.

After the wedding, enter the “Womb”, a one-on-one shadow puppetry experience with live music, created by Geneva Bierce Wilson. You are invited to be reborn in this empowering and intimate performance.

Outside Fleetwood’s you can explore the Zed AVL “Emerge n See”, a mobile museum constructed in a converted ambulance. 20+ artists have created dioramas, interactive sculptures, multimedia projections and instagramable moments in every nook and cranny.

Fringe sponsor Asheville FM DJ Avel Veeta, of FLYTRAP, will be spinning energized tunes from across the universe, while Fleetwood’s friendly bartender offers refreshments. Come get Fringey with us!
