Wandsworth Arts Fringe wants you! 

WAF is back from 10 - 26 June 2022, and we want you to help us make #WAF2022 as spectacular as possible!

WAF is the perfect opportunity to showcase your talent – whoever you are and whatever you do. We’re looking for artists, venues, schools, and local businesses who want to get involved. 

Whether you’re a community arts group or an international superstar, we pride ourselves on being a testing ground for bold, experimental work that is both hyper local and astonishingly international. WAF attracts artists from the width and breadth of the UK, from across globe, and from down the street.

Since 2010, WAF has brought together hundreds of creatives in a bold and boundary pushing annual line-up of cutting-edge theatre and comedy, exquisite music concerts, art exhibitions, experimental performance art, outdoor art extravaganzas, and everything in between, taking place across the borough.

For 2022, as we safely return to being together again, WAF is encouraging you to go live. Whatever kind of creative practitioner you are, if you want to try out new work, connect with creative networks and be part of something that thrills, moves and inspires audiences from across London, we want to hear from you! 

Expressions of Interest  are open NOW - click here to fill out an EOI form.
