Great news! We will be offering three $500 stipends to HFF22 producers from money raised from our Fringe Memberships campaign! 

Artist Fund Applications are now open! 

Artist Fund applications are now open! $500 artist fund stipends are available to currently registered local HFF22 producers whose income has been substantially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

—->Applicants do not have to be first-time producers

—->It is recommended that applicants identify as low income (making under $66,250 annually)

—->Primary applicants must primarily reside in Southern California

—->Those who have received other HFF program stipends (scholarship stipend or artist fund via the Fringe, etc) in 2021 or 2022 are not eligible

Applications close Friday, April 29th at 9:59 PM. Apply here today!

Want to help more artists get $$ at Fringe??

We don’t have to leave it at only three stipends. If we raise another $2000 in Memberships (which can be one time donations or recurring monthly donations!), we can fund a whole additional stipend. Let’s do some math…that’s twenty memberships at the Fringe Fan level ($100), eight at the Fringe Friend level ($250), four at the Fringe Family level ($500), or two at the Fringe Freak level ($1,000). 

Will you help us get there? Please read all about our Membership Program here and consider donating today. Not only will you be helping our artists and programs like Fringe Central, you’ll also get a ticket to our Opening Night Party (and more)!

After numerous conversations and intense deliberation by our selection committee, faced with an incredibly difficult choice over many qualified applications for this award, we are proud to announce our Fringe Scholarship winners!

As an open-access festival, we seek to foster a ground-breaking community of artists and make performances more accessible, both to the artists who produce them and for those who otherwise cannot afford to see theatre. Our committee firmly believes that these productions will enrich audience experience and the quality of the Hollywood Fringe Festival’s artistic offerings through the presentation of unique and underrepresented themes.

Each scholarship recipient will receive free registration and a $550 stipend towards production costs, a Fringe mentor, and marketing and networking opportunities as a member of the Fringe community. Fringe Scholarships are available to first-time Hollywood Fringe producers who contribute to the ethnic, cultural, racial, intellectually or physically disabled, d/Deaf, and the LGBTQ+ diversity of the Fringe community.

Pre-Festival Event Safety Breakdown

To keep our community safe, we have the following COVID requirements in place for our pre-Festival events.

It’s a FREAKin’ Fundraiser
Wednesday, March 23

Due to the nature of this event (live band karaoke, food & drink indoors and movable seating), we are requiring a negative test from all attendees. Although masks will be recommended, they will not be required at this event, especially while performing, eating or drinking. In this venue, attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (booster not required but recommended).

Town Hall #2: Prepping for Fringe
Saturday, April 16

This event will follow our artist safety guidelines. In short, this event will require proof of vaccination (booster recommended but not required) or a negative test result within 72 hours of the event (48 hours if antigen test, not PCR). Masks will be required at this event. While cloth masks are acceptable, it is highly encouraged that you wear a medical grade mask (surgical/3-ply, KN95, KF94 and N95 masks).
 

Office Hours

All of our office hour locations will have different requirements depending on the space’s own guidelines. Please see this blog for a full breakdown.
 

Our Festival event guidelines will drop with our audience guidelines on April 18, 2022.
