Arts Unlimited raises funds to support artists, venues, producers and marginalised communities to participate in Adelaide Fringe. A large portion of the funds are distributed as grants via the Adelaide Fringe Fund, which exists to support bold ideas, elevate diverse voices and encourage innovation. 

Digital Marketing & Venue Branding Packages applications for Adelaide Fringe 2025 have closed.

First implemented in 2015, the Adelaide Fringe Fund has distributed more than 500 grants since its inception and is responsible for propelling forward artists such as Gravity & Other Myths, Michaela Burger and Casus Circus, venues like Goodwood Theatre and Studios and Rhino Room, and producers such as Peta Spurling Brown and Joanne Hartstone.

Adelaide Fringe Fund grants are possible thanks to the generous support of the Government of South Australia and Arts Unlimited donors and supporters.

Previous Grant Recipients


“The funding significantly boosted access and inclusion for artists and audiences, especially benefiting our regional community and individuals with mental illness. It enhanced cultural enrichment for regional and marginalised communities.” - Marcia Octoman, District Council of Tumby Bay

“As independent artists, who are not in a position to make, produce, or market our art full-time, it means a lot to be backed by Adelaide Fringe. Every little bit of support helps to expand our audience and to have our work seen by people who otherwise might not have given us a look in.” - Shaylee Leach, ‘Yozi: No Babies in the Sauna’

“Without Fringe Fund support, we would need to completely reassess our thriving and successful programming. The support helps us to help our artists, audiences, staff and volunteers because without them there is no GTS at Fringe!” - Simone Avramidis, Goodwood Theatre Studios

"It was great to have that early support and know that there was interest in Aboriginal theatre. My play attracted the attention of an investor who is in discussions with me in relation to potentially developing another play further with a view to international travel." - Jannali Jones, ‘Trail’s End’
