Here we go again Barefooters! Art Basel Miami Beach is just two weeks away. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for it!!!
Even though the official dates are December 1-3 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the events and parties will flow nonstop throughout the entire Miami Art week (November 29 – December 4).
I must admit there was a time when I didn’t know what Art Basel was. Thankfully I got introduced to it a few years back by my BFF Daedrian who is also the Founder and CEO of Premier Guide Miami. I learned 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 highlights the fact 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 it because it’s a celebration of contemporary art, a cultural evolution, an eye-opening and exhilarating experience. It’s a huge deal! There’s something for everyone. It’s where you will see museum quality art, cutting edge works, performances, and people wearing the latest trends. And don’t forget the hundreds of parties and private events. Because there is a lot to do and see, it can get a bit overwhelming. So I have created a definitive guide of events, exhibitions and pop-ups to help better plan your week. Head on over to my Events & Reviews page to view it.
Love and Art Basel,
