This year’s Fringe Festival theme is Happy. How do we experience or remember moments of happiness now? What is happiness in the Nation’s Capital? Is DC a happy city? There seems always to be a loudspeaker constantly blaring that Washington, DC is an evil (or potentially evil), dirty, or a mismanaged city. Instead of just trying to mute the loudspeaker and floating around in a sea of indifference, Fringe is asking YOU to share images of happiness YOU have experienced in the District of Columbia at any time in your life.
Some of us have had short lives others rather long. Some of us have been in the city our entire lives and some for just one day. It doesn’t matter. Share one, two, or three images that illustrate your happiness in the District of Columbia. Snap a photo of an object, a place, or a time of day that fills you with a sense of happiness.

fringe Happy Viewing and Projection Locations
We know that we will be able to display images of happiness at 1150 Connecticut Ave NW beginning on June 20 and running through July 21. Images will be projected 24 hours a day. There will also be three Fringe Happy Pop-Ups planned for July 15, 16, and 17; locations will be announced on June 20. All images collected will be projected, and you will be notified when and where your image(s) will be projected. Images of happiness submitted will only be used by Capital Fringe for projections at the Capital Fringe Festival, June 20 – July 31, 2024.
Happy is conceived and art directed by Julianne Brienza in collaboration with BellVisuals and the Exactly Agency.
