We'll be bringing you our coverage from Miami's week of art mayhem in an exciting new format this year, so watch out for that soon. In the meantime, if you're already overwhelmed by the goings-on and need help planning your week or if you're living vicariously through CH, we put together a few of the events and exhibits that sound good to us.

Fountain Art Fair
In its first year
Fountain Art Fair made quite the splash and we expect more of the same this year. Different than the slew of other fairs, Fountain has an especially unique slant. Hosting a guerrilla style event with no official booth spaces or selection committee juries, it aims to highlight the independent galleries overlooked by the larger and oftentimes more corporate fairs. Although Fountain will showcase galleries from Brooklyn and San Francisco as well, we like the fact that they make a special effort to showcase local talent from Miami (image at left: Miami artist Miguel Paredes' "Lo Mato").
