Design Miami
December 1 - 5, 2010
Meridian Avenue and 19th Street, Miami Beach Convention Center P-Lot, Miami Beach
Design Miami/ is the global forum that brings together the most influential dealers, collectors, designers, curators and critics from around the world in celebration of design culture and commerce. Inspired by the galvanizing effect of Art Basel Miami Beach, the founders of Design Miami/ set out to create a design fair unlike any other that came before. They envisioned a new commercial and cultural forum that would capture the thriving general interest in design and elevate appreciation for limited-edition, experimental and historically significant design work,
presented within an energetic, visually striking environment. No other design fair had ever attempted such a feat. From its inception, Design Miami/ was intended to be more than just a marketplace for high-end design.
At the core of the Design Miami/ forum is a marketplace for limited-edition design, amid which the most reputable international design galleries present curated exhibitions of museum-quality furniture, lighting and objets d’art, attracting the highest level of private and public collectors of historical and contemporary design. The galleries invited to exhibit in Design Miami/ deal mainly in exceptional design objects from the advent of Modernism (circa 1900) to the present day, with select galleries specializing in outstanding 18th and 19th century antiques.

PooL Art FairDecember 3 - 5, 2010
Carlton Hotel, 1433 Colins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Although there is a tradition in France of artists fairs, starting from the famous Courbet’s Salon des Independents, PooL is the premiere fair in the US dedicated to un-represented artists. The first edition took place in 2000 under the title : New York Independent Art Fair.
The simple, modest approach of the PooL Art Fair offers an exciting alternative to the "Art Fair" experience for dealers and collectors as well as the general public. PooL's purpose is to create a meeting ground for outstanding artists, primarily those who do not yet have gallery representation. Contemporary art dealers, artist agents, emerging galleries, artists' collectives, and non-profit organizations are also invited to apply to participate as exhibitors. The fair serves as an invaluable resource for the artistic community and the general public.
Our organization is committed to present to the world, talented artists that do not yet have representation. Frère Independent offers artists the opportunity to be a part of the unique and important cultural environment that manifests during Art Basel Miami Beach. It is also an opportunity for gallery owners, curators and other art enthusiasts to discover artists that are not shown in the other art fairs. Finally, artists are able to sell works while expanding their network as well as receiving invitations to exhibit or create site-specific works.

NADA ART FAIR - MIAMI BEACH 2010December 2 - 5, 2010
The Deauville Beach Resort, 6701 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33141
Founded in 2002, New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is a not-for-profit collective of professionals working with contemporary art. Our mission is to create an open flow of information, support, and collaboration within our field and to develop a stronger sense of community among our constituency. We believe that the adversarial approach to exhibiting and selling art has run its course. We believe that change can be achieved through fostering constructive thought and dialogue between various points in the art industry from large galleries to small spaces, non-profit and commercial alike.
Our international group of members includes both galleries and individuals (art professionals, independent curators, and established gallery directors). The various perspectives and ideas offered by our diverse roster creates a network which, at its most basic, is a resource which people could contribute to and take as much (or as little) as they are inclined. The benefits for some may be a matter of business, for others a source of intellectual or aesthetic stimulation.
To date, our initiatives have succeeded on two fronts: making the contemporary arts more accessible for the general public, and creating opportunities that nurture the growth of emerging artists, curators, and galleries. Our EVENTS have included: artist talks/gallery walks with critics and curators; benefits in support of charitable institutions; members-only seminars to stimulate dedication and ethics in our profession; and an annual art fair in Miami, which is held in December and is free and open to the public.
The New Art Dealers Alliance is a not-for profit organization, registered in the State of New York. Membership is by invitation only, following nomination by an existing member and approval by the executive and advisory boards.

Pulse MiamiDecember 1 - 5, 2010
The Ice Palace, 1400 North Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33136
PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is proud to announce the exhibitors and programming for its 2010 Miami edition. The sixth edition of the fair - the first under new Director Cornell DeWitt - will offer a blend of 82 leading and emerging international galleries alongside the hallmark program of original cultural projects for which the fair is renowned. PULSE Miami 2010 will also introduce a new focus on the city and culture of Miami, and an unprecedented emphasis on the visitor experience, foremost through its exhibitors and programming, but also via new culinary partners and social opportunities.
"PULSE consistently achieves success by presenting a first class roster of galleries on a scale that is manageable, and in a setting that is comfortable. Our core exhibitors, who could show in any fair the world, recognize this and it keeps them coming back" DeWitt explained. Joining such long-running PULSE veterans as Conner Contemporary Art, Hilger Modern/Contemporary, and Yossi Milo Gallery, are a wealth of new exhibitors. Miami's Gallery Diet will bring work by artist Christy Gast, who will have a solo exhibition at the de la Cruz Collection coinciding with the fair. Another newcomer is Galleri Maria Veie, a central figure in Oslo's under-recognized contemporary art scene, bringing Jumana Manna to the IMPULSE section of solo artist booths. From New York comes Larissa Goldston Gallery, whose artists on view include the young American artist Orly Genger. For its garden area, PULSE Miami has commissioned Genger to create Beefcakes, a functional elaboration on prior installations by Genger, including her current MASS MoCA installation Big Boss, in which a gigantic construction of woven climbing rope appears to explode through a wall into a colossal mass throughout the gallery space.
To enhance the experience of our guests, PULSE Miami has commissioned a rotating program of food trucks from some of Miami's favorite restaurants: the wildly popular Latin Burger; gourmet food truck pioneer Gastropod; Jefe's Original, serving their signature fish tacos; and Yellow Submarine, purveyors of the finest Colombian fast food. Each day a different truck will be available to guests in the fair's plaza - please see the schedule available on the next page. Finally, at the end of each day visitors are invited to reward themselves and partake in cocktails at the PULSE Bar, from 4pm to 7pm.

VergeDecember 2- 5 2010
The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club, 1732 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL
Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums and audiences who sustain it.

ZOOM CONTEMPORARY ART FAIRDecember 1 - 5, 2010
South Seas Hotel, 1751 Collins AVE, Miami Beach, FL 33139
In its inaugural year, ZOOM will present a selective group of regional and international galleries representing artists from the Middle East and its Diaspora. To date, showcasing of contemporary art from this geographic configuration has been fragmented within the broader context of the international art fair forum. ZOOM aims to present a cohesive perspective that will foster interconnected discourse by means of exhibitions, academic programming, and curatorial input. Running concurrent to Art Basel Miami Beach and its satellite fairs, ZOOM aspires to take a leading role in increasing the awareness of contemporary art from this diverse region, while enhancing exposure of Middle Eastern art to new audiences of exhibitors, critics, collectors, and the public alike.
