Celebrating 15 years of the fair. Lectures + Discussions
The 15th anniversary of Art Miami leads the fair in a very exciting
direction. In a time where contemporary art fairs play an increasingly
important role in the international market, Art Miami's identity in South
Florida becomes even clearer.
Once seen as a primarily Latin American fair for a Latin market, Art Miami
has now tipped the scale toward a truly international fair that presents a
broad spectrum of artwork accessible to all levels of collecting. This
year's show features nearly an equal number of participants from Europe
and North America, while a smaller percentage of galleries come from Latin
America.
Art Miami strives to provide visitors with the excitement of discovering
new trends, new artists and new galleries that help build awareness of
today's art world. This year Art Miami proudly fulfills its mission of
offering a broad spectrum of artwork accessible to all levels of
collecting.
Please join us January 6-10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, during
the height of Miami's beautiful winter season, where you will have an
opportunity to acquire some of the finest paintings, sculptures,
photographs, and museum quality works in glass.
Lectures + Discussions
Lectures and discussions will be held in room D235/D236 at the top of the
escalator in the Hall D lobby. Please check at the Information Booth
inside Hall D for confirmed times and topics. Free admission for ticket
holders.
