About FOUNTAIN
ART FAIR:
“Our preferred
punk rock lopsided Anti-Fair.”
- Brooklyn
Street Art

the work that’s changing the face of the art market.”

insightful and sometimes shocking... I left Fountain excited
about emerging art again.”

Fountain Art Fair was founded in
2006 as an attempt to leverage support for smaller independent
galleries to gain access to larger collectors and critics.
Since its inception, Fountain has held six exhibitions in New
York, one in Los Angeles, one in Chicago, and is now
celebrating its sixth exhibition in Miami. From its roots deep
within the independent Brooklyn art scene, Fountain has grown
to represent over 20 international avant-garde galleries and
projects, showcasing progressive primary-market
works.
