Miami and Miami Beach Art Fairs

With only two days to go, this tremendous week of contemporary art in Miami and Miami Beach is nearly over. I still have four art fairs to visit and I'm planning a return visit to another five. Next week reviews and pictures of the art fairs will start showing up in this blog, so check back.

One thing I can say now, start planning to visit to Miami next December. If you like art and mostly likely do, you should experience this major art event, in beautiful, warm and friendly Miami.

Art Basel Miami Beach / Art Positions

The Art Positions is a platform for a single major project from one artist, allowing curators, critics and collector to discover ambitious new talents from all over the globe. These are mini exhibitions/shows and you'll find them located throughout Art Basel Miami Beach.

Here're a preview of three artists being featured in one-person shows, plus a link to the galleries showing their artworks.

UNTITLED. will feature pop-up versions of the much-missed design district restaurant, Fratelli Lyon, and Wynwood's favorite neighborhood bar, Wood Tavern. This is good, because the art fair pavilion is located on the beach at Ocean Drive and 13th Street. Verge Art Miami Beach and The Wolfsonia Museum are close and in the vicinity.
