MIAMI, FL.- Fountain Art Fair has returned with its signature spunk and grit to the 25th St / North Miami warehouse for its 6th consecutive year. Fountain opens the doors to its compellingly rambunctious platform of innovative galleries, artist projects, performance artists and musical guests this Thursday at noon for a VIP/Press Preview. Come see for yourself the unpredictable and alternative art fair experience Fountain has to offer.

Fountain announces that it will screen FRAME, a moving image art series curated by Vimeo, leading video sharing site, and Culture Shock, a NY-based media agency for creative industry. The FRAME program features 18 videos by artists on Vimeo that will be projected 25-30 ft above the main Fountain stage on the outdoor lawn.

Stoyn Ice Cream has travelled all the way from Russia to share their delicious iconic heads of ice cream with the Miami Beach crowd. Unique contemporary culture tastemaker Nightdrive and enticingly natural sparkling juice IZZE have joined as Fountain sponsors as well. The Flavorpill / Fountain Giveaway has some great prizes in store, including a Lomography camera and original works by Fountain artists.

Fountain’s epic150 foot street art installation highlights some of the most sought after artists including Sharktoof, Chris Stain, Olek, Hugh Leeman, Chor Boogie, OverUnder, White Cocoa, Army of One, Clown Soldier, Joe Iurato, CAKE, Tip-Toe, Elle, Ian Ross, Know Hope, Depoe, and Zero Cents.

On Saturday night, The Miami New Times and Nightdrive present VHS and Beta, dance-off project Entresol, and disco-reviving dj, Laura of Miami.
