To celebrate Fountain Miami’s largest exhibition to date, we are thrilled to host Jpatt of the Knocks! The Knocks garnered notoriety for their singles “Dancing With The DJ” and “Brightside.” This summer, The Knocks opened for Dragonette on their American/Canadian tour as well as playing Jay-Z’s Made In America Festival, Firefly Music Festival, Electric Forrest, and Camp Bisco. Fountain also will feature Brooklyn’s hottest music sensation Tiki Disco at Saturday night’s Miami New Times Event. As described by Vice Magazine, “Tiki Disco isn’t a disco party or an event sponsored by some shitty brand of booze that you wouldn’t drink unless it was free. It’s a bunch of ragers dancing, and doing it without the forced-fun vibe that’s attached to many organized parties.”

Fountain Art Fair Miami transforms a 25,000 square foot warehouse with concrete floors and 16 foot ceilings into an interactive space inspiring art enthusiasts. Fountain creates a dynamic environment that is far from traditional boundaries and old fashion art fair layouts, where visitors are not mere observers, but become part of the community and participate in the unforgettable experience that is Fountain.

Since it was founded in 2006, Fountain has built a following as a tool of leverage, a support system for smaller independent galleries, collectives and artists desiring access to a larger audience of collectors and critics. The project has received critical acclaim for its uniquely alternative art fair model and genuine dedication to the artists and galleries who both share in and help to shape its vision and ideology. To further support its exhibitors, Fountain is now producing Fountain Sessions, a series of videos by directors team Uta Levan that will continue throughout the year.

Fountain has grown to represent over 60 international avant garde galleries and projects, showcasing progressive primary-market works in New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles; a destination where visitors are guaranteed to discover the best of what’s fresh, exciting and cutting edge in all areas of artistic expression. This event is well on its way to becoming the premiere next-generation art fair and has proved to be an incubator for art.
