YPAM Fringe Society
The YPAM Fringe Society is the organization that supports the YPAM Fringe. We are currently preparing to establish it with venues and performing arts professionals, artists, audiences, and people in the community. The goal is to create a relationship in which people in the society can feel free to consult with each other at any time about Fringe performing planning and management. We also plan to work as a voluntary organization with membership fees to promote the social significance of YPAM Fringe and enhance its continuity. Anyone can become a member.
