Grant Recipients 2025

Our artists, venues and producers are the very backbone of Adelaide Fringe. Without them, we wouldn't have a festival!

With a focus on diversity, innovation, and creativity, 200 grants totalling just over $1,000,000 have been awarded; this funding will help these artists to bring bold and groundbreaking ideas to life at Adelaide Fringe over February and March of next year.

Adelaide Fringe also provides ongoing support to artists through its Arts Industry Collaborations – check them out.

This year’s Grant Recipients have been made possible thanks to Fringe Partners, Novatech and Lumo Energy, as well as donations to Arts Unlimited, including funds raised by the Adelaide Fringe Donor Circle and support from Arts South Australia.
