Art Basel Miami 2017

This weekend brought the annual Art Basel activities to Miami and Miami Beach. I attended for the second time, checking out the fairs, the murals in Wynwood, the parties with free liquor, ran into some familiar faces, and as always in Miami, attempted to eat as much Cuban food as possible. I left exhausted, but I’ll probably still return next year.

Scenes from Art Basel Miami

Art Basel is something I always told myself I would do, but this was my first year actually attending. While I didn’t make it to the actual fair in Miami Beach, I visited a few of the satellite fairs and spent a lot of time in the Wynwood arts district. Shout out to Keisha who joined me at the Wynwood Walls. The street art scene in Wynwood is overwhelming, with graffiti and murals just about everywhere you look. I’ll have to make another trip just to capture everything. Good times. Maybe next I can go to Art Basel in… Basel, Switzerland.
