Our Mission: The mission of KC Fringe is to attract diverse people, nurture artists, and strengthen Kansas City economically through producing educational, cultural, accessible, and affordable events that connect audiences, artists, businesses, and civic organizations.
Our Vision: The vision of KC Fringe is vital to our city and region: to create community, encourage creative self-expression, and to connect local, professional, and emerging artists with audiences. This weaving together of creativity and business boosts the KC economy and connects people from across the metro area. Our events help neighborhood arts organizations build audiences, businesses attract new customers and artists forge new collaborations. KC Fringe is helping to establish Kansas City as a major destination for arts enthusiasts.
Inclusivity Statement: KC Fringe is committed to provide a respectful, safe environment free from harassment, violence, discrimination, bullying, and abuse. We will not tolerate participation in activities or behaviors that discriminate on the ground of race, gender, age, marital status, religious beliefs, citizenship, mental and physical abilities or sexual orientation.
We provide opportunities for everyone to contribute and participate in all events and activities whenever possible and all community members are to be treated with respect and dignity.
We seek to expand our reach to fight against injustices and become a more welcoming and equitable place for everyone to enjoy the performing arts.
