The Hollywood Fringe Festival is thrilled to announce our 6th Annual Artist Fund, raised by the community, for the community. The following productions were selected by random lottery, and will receive a one-time stipend toward registration, venue, and/or production costs at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

Alps, Adieu! | Cell: A Duologue | Dean Evans: My Finest Work | Failure to Thrive | Ghost Train | Home Free | I. We. Us. | Maybe It's You | Moyamoya Baby: A Trilogy of Strokes, Blood Flow, and F*ckboys | Reservoir Dolls: The Whole Bloody Affair | Sack of Nerves | Strange Beings | The Trick and "The Pearl" | To make your Existence Easier

Thanks to the generous contributions by the Commissioners Club members, we were able to distribute $1,500 more than last year!

How the Artist Fund is Raised

We know that creatives have taken a massive hit financially over the course of the pandemic and we want to help, which is why 25% of funding through the HFF Commissioners Club goes directly into the Artist Fund so more low-income Angeleno artists have access to the festival performance platform! Join the club today to help us empower artists all year long!

Who can receive an artist fund micro-commission? 

- Any HFF producer who is committed to bringing their show to HFF26 (applicants do not have to be first-time producers)

- Applicants who identify as low-income (making under $84,850 annually). 

- Applicants must be local to LA County and be able to legally accept Payment in the US.

- Those who have received other HFF program stipends (scholarship stipend or Artist Fund stipend via the Fringe, etc) in 2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026 are not eligible
