OverviewCabaret Fringe Association Inc creates open-access events and other opportunities for cabaret artists, producers and others to present their work to both city and rural audiences in South Australia, and beyond.
This is usually achieved through an annual Festival, as well as other programs and projects as determined by the Board.
As we are without funding for a Festival in ****, we are presenting monthly open-mic events called Cabaret Live, to give artists a platform to develop their work and build an audience following.
We are applying for grants to fund a Festival in ****, and have been fortunate to receive some substantial private donations from long-term supporters.
The Association holds DGR status and is able to receive tax-deductible donations.
Our current Treasurer is a Chartered Accountant who has given years of excellent service to the Association, but who now wishes to move on to new projects.
