A Showcase of Art, Culture and Exclusive Experiences Are Accessible All Year Long on Miami Beach
December 2, 2024. Miami Beach, FL. - This December, Miami Beach emerges as a vibrant canvas of artistic expression and luxury, combining a dynamic lineup of art events with exclusive offers at its world-class hotels and it doesn’t stop there. From Art Basel and No Vacancy, Miami Beach to Lincoln Road art pop-ups and the return of the second annual Open House Miami Festival in February 2025, visitors can experience The Art of Miami Beach while indulging in premier accommodations and activities all year long.
“Miami Beach is famous for iconic art fairs in December, however, our city is home to an ongoing schedule of immersive exhibitions, installations, events and festivals that extend well beyond the traditional season,” says Peggy Benua, Chairwoman, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority. “We are proud to support events throughout the year that bring art and culture to the forefront, from creative culinary events to interactive art pop ups that encourage interaction with our visitors and locals.”
From December 5-8, 2024, the cornerstone of Miami Beach’s art scene, Art Basel, brings together more 250 galleries from across the globe. With works spanning modern and contemporary art, the fair also extends beyond its walls with large-scale installations at Collins Park and expert panels featuring leading voices in art and culture. Visitors can also attend the Untitled Art Fair from December 4-8, 2024 and the Scope Art Show from December 3-8, 2024, both on the sands of Miami Beach. Now through December 12, 2024, visitors and locals can tour 12 hotels on Miami Beach participating in No Vacancy, Miami Beach 2024, a temporary public art project that uniquely transforms Miami Beach’s hotels into temporary art galleries. Installations by local and international artists create a dialogue between art and hospitality, inviting visitors to explore the city’s iconic hotels in a new way. Guests can vote for their favorite works, further engaging with Miami Beach’s thriving creative community. A full list of hotels and artists can be found at No Vacancy 2024 – MB Arts & Culture.
