Nestled within the captivating historic landscape of Hamilton, Ohio, you'll find The Fringe Coffee House. 

Fringe Industries Mission

Fringe Industries is committed to empowering the prisoner, returning citizen and those in recovery to live healthy, whole lives. Their transformative 10-week prison art/music therapy program, 'Scars and Bars,' delves into the roots of incarceration and destructive behavior, fostering kinship and mentorship among the incarcerated. 

Upon release, Fringe Industries extends opportunities for meaningful employment through a one-year paid job training program within The Fringe Coffee House or one of their other social enterprises. Each individual entering their doors receives a tailored holistic re-entry support plan.

The Fringe Coffee Shop is the largest indoor street-art gallery in Butler County and is dedicated to offering employment opportunities to returning citizens. Throughout the course of this program, a personalized re-entry plan is crafted for each employee, aimed at dismantling every conceivable barrier to successful reintegration.

Live entertainment and street-art is a vibrant part of Fringe's identity, including a diverse array of genres in music, comedy nights, poetry readings, trivia evenings, and an ever-evolving array of engaging events.
