Basel Tov! It’s all about art and design in Miami this week. With a plethora of fairs, events, and activities, navigating this week can be hectic; here is a run-down of the can’t miss attractions happening during Miami Art Week.
This year, a huge number of major constituents have moved their venues to the Downtown neighborhood surrounding One River Point, emphasizing the geographic shift of the Miami art scene from the beach to the river.
We’re starting off this week’s run-down of Miami Art Week with a spotlight on our downstream neighbor’s art fair, the Miami River Art Fair. Mirroring One River Point’s flair for art on the river, this burgeoning art fair is located in the Riverfront Hall of the James L. Knight International Center.
As with our own Riverfront Park, the fair will also utilize its outdoor pavilion for large-scale sculptural installations. With a commitment to vivifying the Miami River, the fair’s programming and partnerships are focused on launching Downtown Miami as a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts.
Be sure to check out the dedicated artist booths at the fair, in which artist’s exhibit their work independent of galleries for unique insights into their practice.
