7 Art Basel Miami Events You Need to Check Out in 2022

What is Art Basel Miami? Art Basel is an international art fair staged annually in Basel, Switzerland, as well as in Hong Kong, Paris, and Miami. The convention and event itself offer leading galleries from five continents showing significant works by masters of modern and contemporary art.

In natural Miami fashion, the city comes together to offer one of the most unique and spectacular cultural gatherings in the world. In addition to one-of-a-kind art, musicians and promoters flock in to curate equally exclusive, one-off parties with rare lineups and performances you wouldn’t see anywhere else.

Check out our list of can’t-miss Art Basel Miami events below:
