Charlie Hartill Fund 2026 for UK-based Black, Asian and Global Majority Artists Logo

  • The Charlie Hartill Fund 2026 for UK-based Black, Asian and Global Majority Artists

  • The Charlie Hartill Fund, for Black, Asian and Global Majority Artists* provides financing, mentorship and programming opportunities to support UK-based Global Majority artists in bringing their work to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We have made £10,000 available, with productions receiving investment of up to £10,000, to support exciting projects that would otherwise not be able to come to the Fringe.

    *We adopt Black, Asian and Global Majority Artists as a commonly used term that is consistent with other theatre partners we work with. However, we acknowledge the limitations and lack of nuance of this term, and encourage this to be an opportunity for further discussion. Our definition of ‘Black, Asian and Global Majority’ is inclusive to anyone who is marginalized or faces barriers within the industry for their race or ethnicity.
