Andrew Gen, Richard Hibbert and Maschell Cha they won an open contest for their designs to be used on marketing materials for the festival, which runs from August 30 to September 9.  “Not only does Gen, Hibbert and Cha’s design capture the feel and energy of the Fringe Festival, it also allows us to reach beyond the performance community and involve another aspect of the artistic scene,” said Executive Director Vinnie Lacey. The image fits well with our election year theme that Fringe is all about choice.”
