Fringe Art Bath Festival is moving online for 2020: 22 May to 7 June

We’re sadly not going to be able to deliver Fringe Arts Bath festival as we know it this year, as part of the sacrifices we are all making in response to the covid-19 situation around the globe.

We’re taking the festival online. For the first time since FaB first took over odd spaces around Bath in 2007 we won’t be appearing on your streets, instead we’re bringing art and events into your home, including opportunities for you to take part. See more below.

Save the date and watch this space, our blog and social media accounts and search #FaB20 for updates, you can also sign up for our newsletter here to receive occasional emails.

We are developing some online content together with our Curators, as FaB is really keen to continue providing opportunities for Curators, Artists and Performers to test and showcase their work, and reach the wide audience we are proud to welcome to the festival each year.

Read our Curators’ ongoing blog posts here on our 2020 exhibitions page.
