The cultural phenomenon that is Art Basel came to Miami Beach twenty years ago, arguably playing a major role in establishing our city as an international hub of art, cuisine, fashion and luxury. While the power of art across dimensions and its ability to shape the future is indeed at the forefront of this week-long extravaganza, it’s easy to get lost in the noise—and by that we mean the abundance of art-themed party offshoots that everyone in the know is buzzing about. More on that later. For now, follow along as we break down the top satellite fairs, exhibits, installations, galleries and events worth ogling, in addition to the grand centerpiece known as Art Basel Miami Beach.
