Photo Fringe is a platform that enables everybody to engage with, exhibit and enjoy photography and lens-based media. Photo Fringe only exists because of the immensely generous support of volunteers, partners, funders and sponsors. We give heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last year with their energy, time, expertise, cash and enthusiasm.
