Since 1970, Art Basel has been one of the most well-known and profound art showcases around the world. This artist platform combines international artists ranging from stimulating and obscure modern and contemporary art to musical geniuses showcasing their newest sounds. Staged annually in Basel, Switzerland (where it began), Miami Beach, Florida and Hong Kong, this event is a must see for any art connoisseurs.
This year, taking place in Miami Beach, Florida on December 1st – 4th, the newest and brightest stars will come together to premier their paintings, sculptures, installations and photography. With day passes for $55.00 USD, and weekend passes for $105.00 USD, this is a very small price to pay for the astonishing artwork one will come across (and let’s not forget about student discounts!).
Last year the festival took over 269 galleries that spread all across Miami Beach, converting inside and outside spaces. What not to miss. Of course, we are excited about the innovative minds that are behind this incredible festival, but one must not forget about the music that goes along with any great party!
Not only will some of the best visual artists be in Miami but the best engineering DJ’s. Pioneers of the music industry such as Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Damien Lazarus, Guy Gerber, DJ Tennis, Matoma, AME and Moodymann will be amongst the many names of the festivals- tickets ranging from $20.00 USD to $100.00 USD.
Some of our favorite parties include Life And Death, 10 Years of Diynamic, Where are my Keys featuring Lee Burridge (all day I dream) and of course, MUSIC ON. Taking over almost every club in Miami there is something for everyone. Shucks, even Paris Hilton is playing.
