How to Navigate Art Week With Intention
• Prioritize wisely. Pair one major fair (like Art Basel) with one or two smaller, curated shows depending on your interests.
• Think about where the art will live. Design-focused pieces elevate luxury homes; emerging art adds character and modernity.
• Stay local to each cluster. South Beach, Wynwood, and Downtown each have their own energy — and grouping fairs by area saves time.
• Remember: quality over quantity. Art Week is about inspiration, not exhaustion. Choose experiences that align with your style, your home, or your clients.
