THE CREATIVEMARKE TPLACE

Festival Directors & ProgrammersAre you a Festival Director or Programmer seeking the latest contemporary work to program for your festival, venue or event?

If so, you can experience hundreds of premiere performances and art exhibitions through the Adelaide

Fringe Honey Pot program.

Now in its 9th year, Honey Pot is designed to create opportunities for works presented at Adelaide Fringe to go on to tour other festivals, events and venues both nationally and internationally.

In 2016, Adelaide Fringe will individually tailor your festival experience by helping you to navigate the Fringe guide to find works which speak specifically to your programming tastes.

Through Honey Pot there are fabulous opportunities to access accommodation support, request complimentary tickets, network with industry peers, meet Fringe artists and VIP access to the Fringe Club and much more.

The Honey Pot program is the only boutique program of its kind in the world! Do not miss out on this sweet as honey opportunity!

The 2016 Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) held in Brisbane, Queensland will overlap with

Adelaide Fringe, so if you are planning on attending APAM why not extend your arts market tour to visit Adelaide Fringe’s creative marketplace Honey Pot!

Honey Pot applications open October 2015

GRAvity & Other Myths

Adelaide circus troupe, Gravity & Other Myths presented the show Freefall in the 2011 Adelaide Fringe and was awarded the Melbourne Fringe Tour Ready Award to perform at Melbourne Fringe later that year.

In 2013 and 2014 they returned with the showA Simple Space.

The show was programmed by:

Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority as part of the Hoopla Festival (NSW)

Hi Seoul Festival (KOR)

West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, Freespace Festival (CHN)

Sydney Festival (NSW)

“As fresh faces in the arts scene we knew very little, in particular how to move from ‘we have a show’ to ‘we have a touring show’. Honey Pot is great at connecting you with the right people for your show. It’s a unique opportunity for aspiring artists to gain industry access at the next level and we would totally recommend getting involved.”

Triton Tunis-Mitchell, Gravity & Other Myths

“I can never understand why fringe festivals around the world have not adopted Adelaide’s Honey Pot program. It is an empowering and transparent networking opportunity for artists to directly contact presenters about their programs, and presenters to directly contact artists about their work. It results in real-world touring and in

professional connections that last for years. I can’t sing its praises highly enough.”Steph Brotchie, Don’t Be Lonely
