Marketing & Graphic Design Intern

Organization:

Vancouver Fringe Festival

Deadline:

May. 22, 2025

Organization Description:

The Vancouver Fringe Theatre Society was formed in 1983 by a group of local artists who had a common goal: to provide a platform for independent artists. The society held its first Fringe Festival in 1985. We now hold the annual Vancouver Fringe Festival every September.

We foster a community of independent and emerging performing artists as part of the Fringe circuit that tours across North America. We are committed to breaking traditional barriers and offering a welcoming and accessible setting for audiences of diverse backgrounds to experience the magic of live performance. Through the lottery draw, we create a radically welcoming space where everyone can be an artist.

The Vancouver Fringe has operated on and around Granville Island since 2001. Over 11 days, we showcase unique art and create a community where everyone is united by a shared love for the art of performance. Today the festival sees 12,000 attendees and is facilitated by over 350 volunteers who graciously support the Fringe. Our Fringe is a place where lifelong friendships and connections are formed, whether you’re mingling at the Fringe bar or queuing up for a show.

The Vancouver Fringe aims to be a home for artists and audiences alike and to create space for art, joy, community, and belonging.
