Milton Keynes Fringe Festival, the city’s eagerly anticipated biennial arts event, is back!
This multi-platform showcase for emerging and established artists is currently presenting a vibrant programme of innovative and exciting exhibitions, performance, experimental sound, music, and installations.
Presented alongside the IF: Milton Keynes International Festival, MK Fringe promises an alternative, exciting cultural experience for audiences this July with a focus on the local side.
Leading the charge for the 2025 Fringe will be newly appointed co-directors Ciara Callaghan and Madeleine Wilkie.
Both accomplished artists with individual practices in sculpture, Callaghan and Wilkie bring a wealth of combined experience in production, curation, and direction to their new roles.
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.
This theme will be continuous through curated exhibitions, listening spaces, a publication and activations.
Fringe prides itself for representing local to Milton Keynes artists and exploring the way the city has impacted the artist’s practice, Milton Keynes being another part of the convergence.
The 2025 Fringe programme will specifically highlight visual arts, performance, and sound, promising a diverse and engaging experience for attendees.
MK Fringe Festival continues until July 27 across Central Milton Keynes.
