The mission of the Minnesota Fringe is to coneect adventurous artists with adventurous audiences.

Minnesota Fringe is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to connect adventurous artists with adventurous audiences. The biggest way we do this is by organizing the Minnesota Fringe Festival, an annual eleven-day performing arts extravaganza. In 2010, we issued over 50,000 tickets to 169 shows. Fringe shows are 60 minutes or less and there's a 30-minute break between each show.

In 2011, there were 15 standard Fringe venues in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Many of our venues are in Minneapolis' Uptown and West Bank neighborhoods. In addition, there are three venues participating in our BYOV--bring your own venue--program for site-specific works.
