Now in its 11th year, the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival (AFAF) provides artists with opportunities to explore the edges of their work, collaborate across genres and bring innovative performances to culturally adventurous audiences. The artistic mix has included local and imported actors, dancers, singers, videographers, painters and musicians presenting experimental works in cross-genre improvisation, Butoh dance, puppetry, sketch theatre, modern dance, and performance art. Since its inception, AFAF has presented hundreds of performances involving an incredible number of artists of all kinds.
