What to See and Do Beyond Art Basel

Art Basel is the centerpiece of Miami Art Week, which transforms the city into a sprawling canvas of creativity. Beyond the convention center, visitors can explore satellite fairs, pop-up exhibitions, and immersive installations across Miami Beach, Wynwood, and the Design District.

The Tribeca Festival at Art Basel combines film and music, featuring exclusive screenings and concerts by international performers. For something truly unique, the Sukeban Wrestling Spectacle combines Japanese high-fashion aesthetics with live wrestling at the Miami Beach Bandshell.

Public art installations will be scattered throughout the city, offering opportunities to encounter creativity in unexpected places. From large-scale sculptures on the beach to digital art projections downtown, Miami becomes a living gallery during Art Week.

 

Where to Eat During Art Basel

Miami’s culinary scene is as dynamic as its art, and Art Week is the perfect time to explore it. Near the convention center, Amara at Paraiso offers modern Latin-American cuisine with stunning waterfront views, while Boia De serves inventive American-Italian fusion in an intimate setting. For a refined experience, Cote Miami blends Korean barbecue with the sophistication of a steakhouse.
