BUYING YOUR WINSDOR FRINGE BUTTON HELPS ARTISTS AND YOUR COMMUNITY ALIKE! All the proceeds from the tickets sold to each show, go directly to participating artists in the Theatre Fringe cooperative. and all other production costs are all borne by Actors Theatre of Windsor, who pays for this community project with the assistance of Founding Partners, Government Grants, Sponsors, participating artists (who pay an entry fee), the Annual Legal Benefit Performances, merchandising and the revenue from $3 Fringe Buttons. The Fringe button purchase not only support the Fringe, but the button pays for itself often on the first use because of the array of promotions and discounts available when you show your button to participating merchants during Fringe week. |  |

The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is built on four principles:
- No Artistic Direction. Artists are selected by ‘first come, first served’.
- No Censorship. Artists have complete freedom to present their work.
- Accessibility to artists. Anyone can apply to the Fringe.
- Accessibility to audience. Ticket prices are kept low and 100% of the ticket price is returned to the artists you see on stage.
