Ready or not, here it comes!!! The world’s largest art festival is back and it’s going to be bigger than ever this year. Of course I’m talking about Art Basel Miami Beach. Even though the official dates are December 1-3 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the parties will flow nonstop throughout the entire Miami Art week (Nov 29 – Dec 4).
I got introduced to Art Basel Miami a few years back by my friend Daedrian who is also the Founder and CEO of Premier Guide Miami where I serve as Special Guest Contributor. Three gallerists started the fair over 50 years ago in Basel, Switzerland, and it’s one of eight world-famous cultural and sporting event in that country. It has become a global phenomenon since its inception. A quick visit to www.artbasel.com reveals that: “Art Basel is the leading global platform connecting collectors, galleries, and artists. Art Basel’s fairs in Basel, Hong Kong, and Miami Beach are a driving force in supporting galleries as they nurture the careers of artists….”
If you have never attended Art Basel Miami, this is a great year to start because 2022 marks exactly 20 years since it had its debut in Miami Beach. I personally enjoy the fair because it’s an eye-opening experience and it’s a celebration of contemporary art. It’s a huge deal! It’s where you will see museum quality art, cutting edge works, performances, and people wearing the latest and most colorful trends. And don’t forget the hundreds of parties and private events.
Because there is a lot to do and see, it does get a bit overwhelming. So head on over to my Events & Reviews page for some suggestions. For the Ultimate Guide of Events, Exhibitions and Pop-ups you can also visit www.premierguidemiami.com.
