The Fringe & KPCC

About four months ago, we did an informal poll amongst Fringizens seeking their favorite media outlets, and exercise to determine the best means to reach arts lovers, makers, and supporters.

As it so happens, you guys love NPR: A hub for intelligent, thoughtful opinion, news and entertainment. The next day, Stacy Jones and I approached our favorite Los Angeles NPR affiliate about a potential relationship for Fringe 2011.

It was an inspired moment and for every moment that followed our relationship has been positive, cooperative, and mutually beneficial.

And so today, on the eve of Fringe Festival 2011, we are proud to formally announce KPCC as our Venue Sign sponsor.

With a little artistic magic from Fringe Art Director Gavin Worth, we have created these stunning signs to grace the doors of every venue in the Fringiverse.

We love NPR, we love KPCC, and we look forward to a wonderful future!
