I remember many years ago when I would tell friends I was from Miami and our city’s only claims to fame were Miami Vice and Scarface. Fast forward a few decades, and now Miami Art Week is deemed “The Super Bowl of the Art World.
” With hurricane season thankfully behind us, this is the perfect storm we have been waiting for: great weather, great art, and great parties. With no rain in sight and temperatures for Miami Art Week hovering in the mid-70s, I can't imagine there will be a better place to be. The centerpiece of Miami Art Week is Art Basel Miami Beach , which took root in Miami back in 2002 when Miami was known only for its beaches and party scene.
But Art Basel brought a whole new level of cool and sophistication to the city, igniting an art renaissance that has taken over the city year-round with its incredible galleries and museums that have popped up all around Miami.

As Art Basel grew bigger and better, so did the number of satellite fairs and art events popping up around it. Boom! Miami Art Week was born. Art Basel has completely changed Miami.
It has revitalized neighborhoods, boosted the local economy, and put Miami on .
