GRIFFIN ARTIST BLOG

Griffin Artist Card membership is an initiative to increase access to our theatre. This program facilitates the coming together of artists across different disciplines and at different stages of their career. It supports and strengthens a vibrant emerging artist community, as well as acknowledging this community as an important part of the Griffin family and the wider theatre world.

How does it work? We want to offer a place where artists can see work, discuss work and make work.

To see work, we will continue to offer heavily discounted $15 tickets, which can be booked in the first fortnight of all Griffin and Griffin Independent shows, Performance Space shows at members' rates and ticket deals and giveaways to other theatre companies.

To discuss work, we are introducing regular Artist Card events where the community can come together for a drink.

And finally, we are supporting emerging artists in their making of new, bold and exciting work. Griffringe will continue to be a great avenue for artist card holders to display their work. We will also be offering (where possible!) free use of our space for readings and developments.

The Artist Card is a community. It is the glitter glue that brings all the cool amazing arty people together and helps them sparkle. So it's almost like glitter glue squared. If you are interested in joining the artist card outfit, please email artist@griffintheatre.com.au or come along to our next shindig….Hope to see you there!

Sydney Fringe Applications Now Open!

Every year that the Sydney Fringe Festival continues its new lamb-legs are getting stronger. Last year alone there were 1000 performances of 250 productions and events that took place in 66 venues across the city. As far as statistics go, which generally wash-over the individual hard work and creativity sweated into almost every piece, that’s pretty impressive.

It is Sydney’s alternative festival for the visual and performing arts and it would be great to have a strong body of work in the Fringe that has come from the Griffin Artist community.

Artist Registration for the 2012 Sydney Fringe will open on March 1st. Watch this space for more details or you can email for further info: artists@sydneyfringe.com

Fringe dates: 7th-30th September

ALSO, there will be a Fringe night at Venue 505 on 2 March to mark the opening of Artist Registration.
