EARLIER this month, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society – the organisation that coordinates the world’s biggest arts programme – concluded a two-week “mass listening project” for the arts industry. Described as the Society’s “biggest feedback drive in years”, the online consultation sought the views of artists, venues, producers and Fringe workers on the issues facing the massive arts showcase.
A separate online consultation for members of the Fringe audience is open until October 23. The results of both consultations are set to be published early next year.
The consultation process was promoted by the Fringe as a positive contribution to its 75th anniversary year. However, some perceived it as a rearguard response by an embattled organisation.
