Fountain Art Fair, with reckless abandon of the art fair model and brash embrace of alternative art showcase attitude, announces the final list of participants in this year’s 2010 exhibition which runs opposite the Armory this March 4 -7. 20 independent projects in our sprawling 10,000 sq ft venue Pier 66 aka The Frying Pan a New York landmark ensures the Armory weekend will keep its New York grit edge. Stepping it up a notch this years Fountain’s VIP Preview, will benefit the Museum of Arts and Design.
The VIP PREVIEW will be Thursday from 11am until 7pm and the on Friday we will open for public viewing. An opening night reception will be held Friday evening from 7pm until midnight with entertainment to be announced soon (its going to be huge so keep tuned.) Then on Saturday night we will host the new media icon ARTLOG LIVE a evening dedicated to the rants and raves of the online tastemakers who pack our art fair weekend with mobile updates and keep us in the know.
