Fringe xChange

Are you an artist based in Chicago? Interested in working with Chicago Fringe Opera (CFO)? Have a big idea you’d like to share? Or you just want to chat about your art form and its intersection with opera?

The CFO family invite you to share yourself and your work with us. We accept submissions from artists in all disciplines, not just opera, and not just the performing arts.

Submissions are reviewed at the beginning of each month. We’ll be in touch via email to connect you with a member of our artistic team who will schedule an informal meeting.
