The temperature is dropping, and everyone around you has suddenly started caring about art. It can mean only one thing: Art Basel Miami Beach and the Miami Art Week circus is almost here. You'll have little time to recover from spending Thanksgiving with your racist uncle and fighting for a 50-inch TV on Black Friday, because immediately after the holiday, Miami will transform into a global art market.
In fact, Art Basel is sort of like Black Friday for the 1 percent: Instead of getting a great deal on an iPad, Eurotrash inundates Miami Beach to score big on blue-chip art. Besides purchasing overpriced artwork and exploiting the working class, what do the superrich like to do most? They like to party. Fortunately for them — and the rest of us — there will be plenty of opportunities. In terms of scale, Miami Art Week now rivals March's Miami Music Week. In years past, you might've caught a live performance by artists such as Ariel Pink, Peaches, LCD Soundsystem, or Black Lips, and the week had begun resembling a mini-South by Southwest of sorts. However, the DJ reigns supreme around these parts, so you'd be hard-pressed to find much live music these days.
Regardless, the Veuve Clicquot will be flowing, and the only thing stopping you from partying will be your bank account and the guest list.
We'll update this list as more parties come across our radar. Got one you think should be mentioned? Hit us up at [email protected].
