The art world descends on Florida this week for the 10 annual Art Basel Miami Beach, the largest art show this side of the Atlantic.
The four-day event at the Miami Beach Convention Center, beginning Dec. 1, brings together 260 leading galleries from all corners of the world and will show works by more than 2,000 artists.
To mark its decade in South Beach, the event will inaugurate a new collaboration with the Bass Museum of Art, which will transform Collins Park with unique artworks and performances by renowned artists and emerging talents.
Also, Art Video, which features film and video works by today’s most exciting international artists, will be presented in SoundScape Park on the large-scale outdoor projection wall of the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center.
Here are a few other art events worth checking out, along with places to stay, eat and party with the art set:
The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) will once again hold its own art fair of emerging artists at the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach. Now in its ninth year, NADA has expanded its exhibition to three ballrooms and is offering virtual storefronts of all exhibitor works. Admission is free and there will be a daily shuttle bus running between the NADA Art Fair and the Convention Center.
SCOPE Miami returns to the heart of the Wynwood Arts District for its 11th year, curating cutting-edge contemporary art from 80 galleries from around the world that will be housed in an 80,000-square-foot pavilion.
On Dec. 1, the SCOPE opening party will kick off at SET nightclub, with music by DJ Mick Boogie. On Dec 3, The SCOPE closing party will be held at Mokai with New York’s DJ Silver Medallion spinning.
While crawling the Design District for SCOPE Miami and the other nearby galleries, drop in for a bite at Mai Tardi, a casual Northern Italian restaurant. The eatery offers amazing al fresco dining, at an outdoor terrace shaded by 150-year-old white oak trees.
