  • 5/13/09 - Visual Fringe
    When Central Floridians hear the word "Fringe" most think of performance art but The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival is also home to Visual Fringe - a gallery exhibit featuring photography, paintings, sculptures, and more. Visual Fringe has been a part of Fringe since the festival's inception 18 years ago, though patrons have seen noted growth and more creative diversity since UCF graduate Anna McCambridge became the Visual Fringe Producer seven years ago. In this edition of Art Beat Anna offers guest producer Katie Ball a sneak preview to this uncensored art extravaganza. The Festival Dates: May 14 - May 25 - don't forget about our ticket giveaway - see details on 5/11/09 show.
