| The difficult decision to cease producing the annual Fringe Festival results from years of mounting obstacles that have only been addressed with short-term solutions. Operating a small to mid-sized arts organization in Washington, DC, requires constantly overcoming challenges to secure space. Over the past three years, these challenges have been further compounded by rising costs and the difficulty of obtaining suitable and reliable venue options annually to support our unique open-access programming. Unfortunately, there is no apparent long-term solution to this trend, and to continue to fight this battle annually is not sustainable. |
