Gaming branch denies $42,500 application from producer of Victoria Fringe Festival

The primary B.C. government arts-funding organization, the provincial gaming policy and enforcement branch, has denied an application from the Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival.

The Intrepid Theatre Society has been producing the popular Victoria festival for 23 years.

Intrepid’s general manager, Ian Case, told the Straight that his organization applied for $42,500 in gaming funds.

In a June 17 e-mail to Case, the branch declared that funding is available to programs that “enhance performing arts, media arts, or visual arts, literature, heritage or culture for youth 18 years and under“.
