While most of the world thrills to paparazzi photos of their favorite stars online each day, Miami plays host to artists, fashion designers, supermodels, professional athletes, and mega-stars who are rarely seen in public at the same time. Attendance at any of the art presentations comes with the very likely chance to rub elbows with screen icons and global billionaires who wander through the pavilions gazing at the collected works of classic and modern artists.

“Art Basel’s well-delineated sectors offer one of the most comprehensive looks at the state of art today.” ~ Isabella Mason

The focal point of South Florida’s art festival week, Art Basel Miami Beach takes over Miami Beach’s Convention Center during the first week of December to showcase contemporary paintings, sculptures, photographs, films and digital works by both established and emerging artists for over 70,000 visitors. Following a rigorous review process, 250 select galleries from across the world are assigned small, white-washed spaces organized by sectors throughout the massive meeting space to display their finest works for collectors, museum curators, international art critics and the general public. The show starts with two days of private showings followed by four rather spectacular afternoons of public viewing from Thursday throughout the weekend.

Show Dates December 6-10, 2017 Info – ArtBasel.com

Each December during Art Basel, nearly twenty Satellite Art Fairs are staged throughout South Florida from massive beachfront pavillions to tiny shipping containers, assorted hotel rooms and impromptu urban galleries across the city. One of the biggest weeks in visual art, the city is best navigated with a predetermined plan in mind and comfortable shoes in tow. Gala openings and late night after parties can be announced at the last minute (and Miami’s finicky weather plays an important role), so a degree of flexibility is essential to viewing success.

The primary fairs divide between Miami Beach and across Biscayne Bay in Miami with area museums and important galleries also hosting special events. The larger fairs offer dedicated shuttle service around Miami which may prove an important asset as traffic and parking issues abound. Best to enjoy the fairs in Miami one day and the showcases on Miami Beach the next to avoid the hassle of navigating crowds and causeways.

Travel in style on a dedicated bus that runs about every 15 minutes.

Route 1 (East-West Route)
Miami Stops: 29th St. and Midtown Blvd, 36th St and Buena Vista Ave,
Miami Beach Stops: 17th St and Convention Center Dr.

Route 2 (North-South Loop)
South Beach Stops: 10th St. and Washington Ave., 17th St. and Convention Center Drive.
Middle Beach Stops: 41 St. and Royal Palm Ave., 46th St. and Collins Avenue.
North Beach Stops: Bandshell Park, 72 St. and Collins Avenue.

Download the App “Miami Trolley” for more info.

The city will also offer the Miami-Dade Art Express bus route, also free.
Running every 20 minutes between 11am and 11pm, this is an alternate mode of transportation across the Julia Tuttle Causeway connecting Miami and Miami Beach.

The pulsating $3 million spider serves as the centerpiece of LIV’s new look, something Steve Lieberman of SJ Lighting took to heart as he crafted the enormous installation that encompasses the entire dance club dome. With over 400 individual motors controlling every movement, the digital beast virtually radiates across the walls into sparkling LED columns that undulate to the beat of the music or appear to burst into flashes and flames. Individual projection screens throughout the space – crafted by design firm Icrave – add impact to the light show, highlighting the DJ booth, twin staircases and layers of VIP seating.

Formed in 2008, MMG Nightlife currently operates three of South Florida’s most successful entertainment venues including LIV at the Fontainebleau Resort and at Hard Rock Stadium plus the popular SoFi hotspot, STORY Lounge. Mo Garcia, Vice President of Operations for MMG, takes extra pride in LIV’s nine week renovation process, a calculated risk he determined would pay off in rich rewards as the South Beach season moves into high gear. After nine successful years at the top of the nightlife scene, MMG decided it was time to find new ways to make the 18,000 square foot club a 360 degree sensory experience. With clubgoers posting every encounter live on social media, Garcia wanted to be sure every angle of the space makes a lasting impression.

MMG Kingpin David Grutman and his wife welcomed baby daughter Kaia the same week his flagship nightclub roared back to life. With an eye on the future of the nightlife industry, he was determined to craft the kind of entertainment experience that would appeal to the next generation. LIV’s relaunch gains momentum in the coming weeks with appearances by recording artists Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano, Gucci Mane and DJ Khaled, plus Prince Royce and Erick Morillo. Halloweekend events include DJs Politik and Hardwell who will appear October 27 & 28.

LIV at the Fontainebleau Resort, 4441 Collins Avenue opens Thursday through Sunday 11pm – 5am. For reservations, call 305-674-4680 or email VIP@LIVnightclub.com

To nudge those visiting for the first time or returning for a different experience, we’re revealing these insider tips to be self-evident that not all seats are created equal.

Perfect for an illicit rendez vous or private business meetings, ask your waiter to be seated in the Terrace to avoid prying eyes. This is Seaspice’s most private section in which only the guest who RSVP’d the table is allowed access.

Positioned in the VIP lounge, tables #105 and #106 are perfect to people watch while enjoying Seaspice’s globally-inspired cuisine. Notable guests spotted near these tables include Naomi Campbell, Barbara Streisand, Miami Heat’s Hassan Whiteside, Scott Disick, and Goldie Hawn, to name a few.

Tables #86 and #87 are great for dates and anniversary celebrations as they are positioned riverside and feature a dimly lit ambiance with a view of the picturesque downtown skyline, helping set an intimate, glamorous mood.

A foodie favorite, table #301 in Modern Garden is ideal for those who enjoy watching food parade from the kitchen and catching the delicious aromas in anticipation of their meal.

Accommodating up to 30 people, request banquet seating in the main dining room right under the art sculpture installation by renowned artist Carlos Betancourt ‘Appropriations from El Rio: As Time Goes By,’ which consists of hundreds of three-dimensional elements that are suspended from the ceiling as an eternal explosion that has been frozen in time and space.

Start your morning at this elegant oasis with a three-course $49 prix fixe meal including two items from the appetizer menu along with a sweet or savory entree. Choose from starters like Avocado Tartine with radish and pickled shallots, Tuna Poke with ponzu and hazelnuts or Lobster and Crab Steamed Buns followed by Cuban-style Eggs Benedict, Brioche French toast with warm nutella or an 8 ounce Wagyu Burger and fries. After your meal, add to your bliss with chilled towels and hand-crafted cocktails like “The Esther Williams,” a mix of Lillet Blanc, raspberry, blackberry, basil, lemon juice and sparkling wine served over ice at the pool bar. #SundayFunday
