Vancouver Fringe Fundraiser: Online Auction

Become a champion for the artists of tomorrow by pledging your support to Vancouver Fringe today.

Restarting a regular program of events in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic proved challenging for many of the returning festivals across Canada. Though our much-anticipated 2022 Festival saw crowds in excess of 20,000, our anticipated revenue fell significantly short of estimates. To reduce the impact of this shortfall and ensure a bright future for the artists we support, we welcome you to participate in our latest fundraiser of auction items.

We have a $10,000 goal to hit before the end of March. Want to help us get there? Place a bid on your item of choice* and be in with a chance to take home prize items such as:

• Theatre tickets for an array of top venues including The Cultch, Artsclub, Ballet BC, Cinemateque, VIFF, Firehall Arts Centre, Bard on the Beach and more…
• Restaurant experiences and drinks packages from the likes of La Taqueria, Granville Island Brewery, Wards Cider, Missions Hill Family Estate Winery and more…
• Vouchers for Benton Brothers Fine Cheese, Peddle Heads Cycling camps, walking tours from Forbidden Vancouver, ferry rides from False Creek Ferries, an array of Fringe merch and more…

FURTHER ITEMS WILL BE ADDED DURING THE AUCTION, SO CHECK BACK REGULARLY FOR ENTICING NEW ADDITIONS!

You can also donate to us directly via https://www.vancouverfringe.com/support-us/donate (all donations over $20 CAD will receive a tax-deductible receipt).

Your pledges truly make a difference to our ongoing operations. Thank you for all your generous support.

*PLEASE NOTE: All winning bids are required to be paid via credit card through the auction site, or alternatively in cash if collecting an item(s) in-person.

Help us support the emerging performing artists in Vancouver!
 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. 
Vancouver Fringe is a registered not-for-profit charitable society
