Go to pages 26 – 29 to check the Ysynopsis of all the art fairs and the map with their location. This issue, Best Guide to the Season, is also online to help with the addresses, dates and hours. The score for fairs this year is 8 Miami Beach, 9 in-land. Art Basel Miami Beach and 7 satellite art fairs, with the very important addition of Design Miami across the street, all on the beach, 8 sattelites in Midtown/Wynwood, and 1 in downtown, these on the mainland. Elisa Turner, in her column Miami Curators Sparkle This Season (pages 12 – 13), ponders about the Miami momentum. Curators are the heart of every important exhibition and we have many good ones working independently, or in Museums, or as one more hat of the professional art gallery owners. But this is Miami season and we are also champions of the Latino momentum. Even Art Basel accepted the wave of the Latin cultural surge. A new comer to ABMB this year is Alejandra von Hartz Contemporary Gallery with a concentration in Latin American art. This definitely means something marketwise. It’s the season so our five more important artwalks (pages 14 – 21), the five private collections open to the public (page 30), the 10 museums of Greater Miami and Beyond (pages 31 – 32), the iconic performing arts institutions (pages 22, 41) are waiting for your visit. And it’s also the season to say thank you… Liana Pérez [email protected] - 10 - by ELISA TURNER ARTCENTRIC [email protected] MIAMI CURATORS SPARKLE THIS SEASON Katrib curates “Open Process,” featuring young Miami artists Autumn Casey, REATIVE CURAtoRS THRIVE IN MIAMI.
