The FRAME program features 18 videos by artists on Vimeo that will be projected 30 ft above the main Fountain stage on the outdoor lawn.

Unique contemporary culture tastemaker Nightdrive and enticingly natural sparkling juice IZZE have joined as Fountain sponsors as well.   Don't forget to sign up for the Flavorpill / Fountain Giveaway for a chance to win a cool Lomography camera and original works by Fountain artists.
