There’s no mistaking the fact that the art fair germ has taken root in Miami Beach. Ever since the big boys of Basel have come into town, it seems a new fair pops up every year. Here are a few that are newer to the game but from an art viewer perspective are still bringing that Miami heat.
Ink Art Fair
Based in a hotel and specializing on works on paper, this fair has it’s own niche cut out for it from the beginning. the atmosphere is light and fun, with works by emerging and more well established artists at more palatable prices.

Aqua showcases work from North and South America as well as Europe and Asia in a venue that also hosts performances and solo booths, all geared toward a slower pace than the hustle and bustle of the larger venues.

Untitled.
The decidedly anti-Basel, Untitled is so cutting edge it refuses even to really pick a name. Open and airy, this huge tented space includes great natural light to illuminate the work by day, and hosts a lovely bar scene overlooking South Beach at night.
