Missing Art Basel This Year? Here's What to Do in Miami Instead
While we are over the moon that Art Basel has announced 'OVR: Miami Beach' as a new iteration of Art Basel’s Online Viewing Rooms, 2020 won’t be the same without the international art fair taking over South Beach. That being said, there are still quite a few artsy endeavors happening around town. Missing Art Basel? Here’s what to do in Miami instead.
The (Virtual) Bass
Learning in an engaging way from home has never been easier than with The Bass’ fun and interactive (did we mention free?) art-filled educational resources. When you’re in need of a creative break, visit The (Virtual) Bass for virtual exhibitions, thought-provoking artist interviews and talks, virtual tours, lesson plans, Art Camp from home, and at-home projects. If you are interested in more helpful resources from the education team, follow @BassCreativityCenter on Instagram.
Museum of Graffiti
The Museum of Graffiti in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood has a full week of programming planned for Miami Art Week. The world’s first museum exclusively dedicated to the evolution of the graffiti art form is hosting a “First Look” of Ahol Sniffs Glue’s Biscayne World exhibition brunch, a book release and signing with Ahol Sniffs Glue, and a private world premier of Why the Spray, a documentary that tells the story of five Miami graffiti artists and why they chose the artform. Be sure to book these in-person events in advance. Save 10% on entry to the Museum of Graffiti when you book your SoBe stay with The Sagamore.
