Home
This year’s theme, Home, invites artists to explore identity, place, and connection in Central Australia.
We’re doing things a little differently this year with two ways for artists to participate:
- Open Access – Self-managed productions that keep 100% of ticket sales
- Funded Stream – A limited number of supported shows presented at the Fringe Hub
What All Artists Receive
- Free marketing and program listing
- Insurance advice and risk assessment support
- 2x comp tickets to other festival shows (excludes Araluen or sold out shows)
- Free entry to any artist-focused events
- The chance to be part of a vibrant celebration of HOME in the heart of Mparntwe / Alice Springs, shining a light on the voices, quirky unique stories and creative community that make up our home.
There are no registration fees for Desert Festival 2025. We aim to keep this process barrier-free for artists.
