How to Enjoy Art Basel Miami Beach
Artists, art professionals, and art connoisseurs know that the mecca of contemporary art is the Art Basel held every year (in June) at Basel, Switzerland. Also known as "the Olympics of the art world," Art Basel features hundreds of the world's leading galleries and the work of different artists from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. The organizers of this giant annual showcase has crossed the oceans and brought Art Basel to Miami Beach—and like the original European exhibition, Art Basel Miami Beach is a dazzling set of events that is an annual tourist attraction of an already attractive city. Art Basel Miami Beach is held every December—a noticeable deviation from the original summer schedule of the European Art Basel, but of course the weather is pleasant in Miami all year round. Since 2002, the US has its own version of the biggest art event in the world, right at Miami Beach.
The organizers of Art Basel Miami Beach claim that their event has matched the original European art fair in terms of size, popularity, and importance. Art Basel Miami Beach is an art event held simultaneously in different parts of the city. Many separate events are held in different private art galleries in the Miami Design District and the Miami neighborhood of Wynwood. The Miami Art Museum also holds several events in the Downtown Miami Area, and art associations in the city will hold events in Bicentennial Park and Bayfront Park. Art and culture events for the Art Basel Miami Beach are also held in Gusman Theater, the South Beach neighborhood for free public exhibits, the Miami Beach Convention Center for private exhibits of international artists, and the Lincoln Theatre, the Colony Theatre, and some local bookstores for films and video-based artworks.
The best way to enjoy Art Basel Miami Beach is to relax and drink in all the sights of the exhibition and the city. But if you have a limited holiday time, you cannot keep waiting for taxis or buses and generally getting los around the city. You can easily rent a car, but if you are not familiar with the roads of Miami, the best option for you is to hire a chauffeured car service. If you do not have to focus all your attention into driving and getting to the right venues, you can get more out of your stay in Miami.
Finding a good car service company in Miami is not difficult—in fact, there are plenty of companies to choose from, depending on your preference and your budget, and many of them have websites that you can check out. Always remember the company of your choice to call a couple of weeks before you fly out to Miami—this way, you can reserve the kind of car that you prefer. You can also inform them of any other specific detail about the service you expect, and forward them your itinerary so they can devise a route plan ahead of time.
