Milton Keynes Fringe Festival 2025 will be co-directed by Ciara Callaghan and Madeleine Wilkie; two artists with individual practices in sculpture and a combined practice in production, curation and direction.
In reference to the Fringe being under a co-directorship, the theme for 2025 Fringe is an exploration of collaboration; what emerges when creative practices come together to create something new, the challenges, joys and intricacies of the process. We are particularly interested in working with Milton Keynes based artists, aiming to look at the way the structure of the city has impacted the practice of artists, Milton Keynes being another part of the convergence.
We commit to being as transparent and fair as possible. We aim to be part of a wider movement drawing attention to the common issues in the arts around diversity, fair pay and inclusion. We aim to work in an open and fluid manner; inviting conversation and feedback from the arts community and the wider community of Milton keynes.
This year's fringe will focus on visual arts, performance and sound.
