Still Weird and Proud of It

It’s lucky number 13 for the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival!

This true Asheville oddity has been happening for 13 years, offering local and imported preforming artists the opportunity to create and showcase new, unique work. The festival features a variety of artists including actors, dancers, installation artists and theatre companies, Butoh dance, puppetry, alternative theatre, modern dance, and performance art.

Presented by Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater, the 2015 Asheville Fringe Arts Festival takes place Thursday, January 22 through Sunday, January 25.

Part of the fun of the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival is venturing out to the fabulous, often funky, arts spaces all over town which host the performances, installations, and several after parties. With so many shows to choose from, it is essential to plan ahead. Most shows will be performed at least twice during the four days of the festival. The full schedule will be posted online, and tickets will be available beginning January 5.

Audiences will have many choices this year, with early and late shows at most of the venues: The Bebe Theatre, The Forum at Diana Wortham Theatre, The Odditorium and Mothlight in West Asheville, the LaZoom Bus, and the Toy Boat Community Art Space. Most show times are at 7 and 9 p.m. Each show runs about an hour, encouraging festival goers to see two shows a night.
