The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome. It all began in 1947 with eight companies – six of them from Scotland – taking a risk, turning up uninvited and performing on the ‘fringe’ of the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival. Over 75years later, the Fringe has grown to become one of the greatest platforms for creative freedom in the world, second only to the Olympics in terms of global ticketed events. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe’s values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.
This role will support the Artist Support team who provide guidance to artists, performing companies, venues, producers, and other stakeholders participating in the Fringe. The successful applicant will provide administrative assistance to a wide variety of projects with particular focus on the services delivered directly to Fringe artists.
