"Since 2014 FringePVD has been bringing arts organizations throughout the city together to provide artists the opportunity to present their work in a way that supports each of them, as well as the continued growth of Providence as a recognized leader in the arts," says Festival Founder and Producer Josh Short. "This year, under the direction of Kate, the festival is poised to grow even more and further establish itself as Providence's answer to festivals that favor producers over artists."

"This year's festival is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. We are thrilled to be producing artists not only from Providence and New England, but from all around the country, as well as enjoying new partnerships with new hosting venues like Better Off and a really exciting collaboration with the RISD Museum," added 2016 Festival Director Kate Kataja. "Seeing the kind of growth we have over just a few short years really speaks to the desire in our city to celebrate art and artists, which is so intrinsic to the ethos of FringePVD. It's going to be a fantastic week of performance."
