Art Basel Miami Beach is one of the most prestigious art fairs in the world, attracting art enthusiasts, collectors, and celebrities from all over the globe. The 2023 edition of the fair is set to take place from December 5th to December 10th, and it promises to be a week full of exciting events, exhibitions, and parties.
One of the most notable aspects of Art Basel Miami Beach is the luxurious surge of private jets coming into surrounding South Florida airports. The fair attracts a wealthy clientele, and many of them choose to arrive in style by private jet. According to a source, the number of private jets arriving in South Florida during Art Basel Miami Beach has been increasing steadily over the years, with some airports reporting a 30% increase in traffic during the fair.
The parties during Art Basel Miami Beach are legendary, and the 2023 edition promises to be no different. The fair will feature at least 10 fairs, led by Art Basel Miami Beach, along with event series and parties featuring such names as chefs Kwame Onwuachi and Dominique Crenn and artists Sallisa Rosa and Alex Israel. Some of the most anticipated parties include the Art Basel Miami Beach VIP Preview, which is an invite-only event that gives guests the first look at the fair’s offerings, and the Art Basel Miami Beach Vernissage, which is a star-studded event that marks the official opening of the fair.
In addition to the parties, Art Basel Miami Beach also features a wide range of exhibitions and events. The fair attracts dozens of international art fairs to the Magic City, blanketing the beach to Downtown in a full-scale sensory and social overload. The art-world elite and their A-list clients, including film, television, music and fashion industry movers and shakers, all migrate south to discover what’s new and socializing — perusing, buying, schmoozing, eating and drinking around town . Some of the most anticipated exhibitions include the New Art Dealer Alliance (NADA) Miami 2023, which presents more than 150 art galleries, exhibits, and nonprofit organizations from more than 50 cities, and Art Miami, which is the city’s original and longest-running contemporary art fair with works by international modern and contemporary art galleries .
