Fountain Chicago
20 Sep, 2013 - 22 Sep, 2013
In a bold move, Fountain Art Fair announces that it will launch a satellite exhibition this September 20-22 to coincide with EXPO Chicago 2013. Fountain鈥檚 renowned emphasis on showcasing the most progressive programming will provide an accessible platform for artists, galleries and independent projects from Chicago and beyond. Following record sales and attendance at New York鈥檚 69th Regiment Armory, Fountain is thrilled to join Mana Contemporary in hosting this innovative exhibition in their expansive facility just a few miles from EXPO鈥檚 Navy Pier. To ensure the success of the project, Chicago-based Johalla Projects will act as a supporting partner for the fair.
Located in a landmark building at 2233 S. Throop Street, Mana Contemporary Chicago has already leased its first floor of artists鈥� studios and is now home to 20 established and emerging artists. To coincide with EXPO and Fountain, Mana will open its first major exhibition space with a free public event on September 22, 2013 from 1-5 PM. The first exhibition in a 2,000-square-foot gallery will feature works by renowned painter and sculptor Ray Smith.
Fountain鈥檚 penchant for thrilling late-night visitors with high-flying performances and dance-heavy beats will also add a distinct flavor to Chicago鈥檚 art fair weekend. With past headliners including ADULT, Marky Ramone, No Age, Ninjasonik and more, Fountain all but guarantees the best after-hours fair action in town. Stay tuned for lineup announcements for Friday and Saturday night鈥檚 events, along with special programming details.
