Artists on the Fringe: A North American Survey on the Impact of Fringe Festival Artists

Artists on the Fringe: A North American Survey

Thank you for taking the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF) Artist Survey.

This survey is designed to assist CAFF in our advocacy efforts to ensure we can keep fringing together. If you've ever participated in a Fringe Festival, we want to know!

We are seeking responses from Canadian and American Festivals and Artists.

This survey will take ~5 minutes to complete.

Respondents will have a chance to win a $500 cash prize! Terms and conditions apply.
