The city’s prestigious, long running contemporary art fair, Art Miami 2009, is to celebrate its 20th birthday on December 2nd-6th. Art Miami is proud to showcase a wide variety of art from over 100 leading national and international contemporary galleries and institutions.
In Art Miami’s 19th edition, it moved to a new location inside the emerging Midtown Miami Arts District which is adjacent to the Miami Design District along with the Wynwood Arts District. The Fair attracts more than 32,000 visitors over a six day period and was applauded for the depth and quality of its arts. This included a special selection of exhibitions and curatorial projects, outdoor sculptures and video installations. All of which appeared within the new 125,000+ square foot state of the art pavilion. Latin American, European, Asian and American galleries and institutions also contributed their own unique curated exhibitions in the BlackRock Art Video/New Media Lounge and through other art projects. The nation’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, was the main sponsor and official host of the 2008 Fair and VIP lounge.
The Art Miami venue boasts a Touch Catering restaurant offering delectable cuisine along with beverages. The VIP lounge on the second story offers a panoramic view of the entire fair. The parking is handled via a four story parking garage located directly across the street for the pavilion. Convenient parking valet and shuttle bus are also on offer from all the surrounding satellite fairs and the Miami Beach Convention centre.
