The City of Miami Beach Hosts 2017 Art Week
– Welcoming Over 10 Esteemed Fairs –
Miami Beach, FL – The core of Miami Beach’s identity has always been intrinsically
linked to the arts. Beyond its internationally recognized beaches, its world-renowned
museums, revered theatres and innovative programming have made the city a top travel
destination for arts and culture.
In 2002, Art Basel, a global show for modern and contemporary art, made its way to
Miami Beach for its prominent debut. Today, the dynamic art fair has sparked a cultural
movement -- activating art in an array of public spaces, museums and hotels throughout
the tropical metropolis every early December.
“Attracting art enthusiasts from across the world to our great city, Art Week has become
an international holiday in Miami Beach,” expressed City Manager Jimmy L. Morales.
“We’re excited to entertain Art Basel once again in our Miami Beach Convention Center
and the other captivating art events for another successful year.”
In order to accommodate the high amount of visitors, the City of Miami Beach
encourages all to move around town using free citywide trolleys. For those looking to
explore City of Miami art fairs, attendees can use the free Venetian shuttle service or the
water taxi service at Purdy Avenue dock.
