Wandsworth Arts Fringe is set to take place June 25 – July 11 2021, with a two-week programme of inspiring arts and culture. Every year, grants from Wandsworth Arts Fringe (WAF) support activities and events that take place in the borough as part of the festival. The £20,000 fund - which allows up to £2,000 per project - is designed to help artists express their creativity and engage with the Wandsworth community. This year sees the return of former favourites, as well as new material inspired by experiences from the pandemic. People Show and the University of Roehampton will come back with their twelfth consecutive WAF show, plus another live art event from Wild City and a dance takeover from contemporary dance company CoDa Dance.
