Fringe On Wheels!
 
Imagine if a truck and a traveling circus had a baby. Imagine a mobile fringe festival.
 
Imagine a mini-fringe festival that travels all around Indianapolis and the state to bring performances, classes, and entertainment to YOU. IndyFringe brought you street entertainment during the Superbowl, and we want to continue spreading the fun at festivals, fairs, schools, universities, and more! With the Fringe On Wheels, we can roll up to any location and let performers create some energy and excitement.
 

Your contributions will be used exclusively to acquire the vehicle - the first and most important step. Not only will this purchase allow us to expand our reach to a wider audience, but it will also expand the reach of developing companies and emerging artists.

 
It is not just about IndyFringe. It's about community. It's about Indianapolis. It's about creating opportunities. It's about bringing art to people who can't get to art. It's about starting careers. It's about the feeling we all had on Georgia Street during the Superbowl. It's about energy. It's about life. It's about art. Because art can happen anywhere - with your help.
 
The truck will serve a triple purpose: ambassador for the fringe (including mobile ticket office), performance opportunity for emerging artists, and as a way to bring street theatre to festivals that are seeking new and exciting entertainment options.
 
The truck will be a self-contained mobile performance vehicle. It will be outfitted with portable staging, sound equipment, lighting, and more! We will also hold an open art competition to design the final look of the Fringe on Wheels! Not only will the Fringe On Wheels be a catalyst for the arts, it will become a work of art itself!
 
We see this is a huge opportunity to create a unique festival atmosphere everywhere the truck goes. So far the following companies have already pledged to use Fringe on Wheels:
  • Indianapolis International Film Festival
  • NoExit Performance
  • Storytelling Arts
  • Indiana Festivals
  • Young Actor’s Theatre
  • Intimate Opera
  • Q Artistry
  • Orkestra Projekt
  • Angel Burlesque
  • Musicians, poets, buskers, mimes, and all sorts of street performers
