Miami Art Week 2023: The Best Events, Parties, Exhibitions, Artists and Dinners During Art Basel (Updating)
Miami Art Week brings dozens of international art fairs to the Magic City, blanketing the beach to Downtown from Dec. 4 to Dec. 10 in a full-scale sensory and social overload. The art-world elite and their A-list clients, including film, television, music and fashion industry movers and shakers, all migrate south to discover what’s new and socializing — perusing, buying, schmoozing, eating and drinking around town. The only thing more intense than the parties, the openings and the brand experiences is the traffic, which makes plotting a trajectory essential.
While the experience is often referred to as “Art Basel Miami Beach,” that is only one of the fairs — albeit the largest. Below, The Hollywood Reporter rounds up the best parties, exhibitions, artists, events (most are invite only or require advance tickets) during Miami Art Week. New events are being announced every day, so check back often for updates.
