For day 2 of Miami art week we decided to branch out away from the main fair. There are a plethora of pop up fairs surrounding the main event. It is easy to get lost in orbit, with so much to do and so much to see. Nada, Scope, Pulse and Fountain all offer looks at younger, contemporary art from local, national and international artists. As the day wore on we were happy to see many of our gallerists and artists.

Weekly Outlook
Art Basel Miami Beach is officially one week away. November 30th through December 1st, VIP Card holders will have access to exhibition vernissages and previews for most fairs. In addition, our local galleries and museums will host openings & previews. Beyond the early-week invitation-only events, there is plenty to do for the general public during these days. In anticipation of the seemingly overwhelming events going on for Basel, we have now displayed ALL Art Basel related events on our Artcards Miami page. Now is the time to start planning your art hopping journey. The easiest way to make sure you don’t miss out on the best events is to 1) go to our Miami site, 2) pick the day you want to see art, 3) select the shows you want to see, and 4) print your personalized map. Highlighted this weekend is the NOMI art stroll (near MOCA), one of Miami’s many local art walk events. These walks are a great way to stay connected with the arts in your community, network and enjoy a cocktail or two. Lastly, I want to give you an early invite to meet our team in person: please come to NADA Art Fair, booth #L-8 on Dec 2-5 to meet the Artcards Team in person and receive a special treat. |

Nada kicks off in just 10 days! This year the not-for-profit New Art Dealers Alliance art fair, will be held once again inside the stylish art deco Deauville Beach Resort in Miami. We will have a booth in Nada, so come say hello. Looking forward to a week of good fun, art parties, sunny cocktails, cuban cigars, lots of legwork, and hopefully won’t get too drunk on art. We’ll keep updating and Carissa will be documenting with gorgeous photos. And a big thank you to our hotel sponsor The Grand Beach Hotel. Here’s a preview at what some of the participating galleries will be showing.

Last week the Park Avenue Armory was buzzing with activity. A fantastical building, it was made even more enticing by the IFPDA Print Fair. In its 20th year, this fair has become the primary destination for all lovers of prints. The selection of dealers, and represented artists was varied. Among the international galleries were New York powerhouses Pace, Marlborough, and the ubiquitous Jim Kempner who was proudly touting his recent web series The Madness of Art. There was an abundance of high quality portfolios from international superstars like Chuck Close, Wayne Thiebau and Richard Serra. While the fair was full of incredibly beautiful art I would be lying if I said the air didn’t feel a little stuffy. This only served to heighten the impact of those booths dedicated to work by contemporary artists. About halfway through my visit to the fair I stumbled into the booth of San Francisco based Arion Press. This was my first introduction to the print/publishing house. Arion’s mission is to combine the work of contemporary artists with classic works of literature. The resulting collaborations are often spellbinding. Arion will soon publish Jim Thompson’s South of Heaven in collaboration with Raymond Pettibon. For the project Pettibon provided 40 illustrations in his signature style. It is encouraging to see a print house collaborating directly with an artist, in order to create a new, vital body of work. I am already looking forward to Arion’s next collaboration with Julie Mehretu who will provide a series of illustrations for a new translation of Sapho.
