Art Basel Miami Beach
December rules because my birthday, Christmas and the biggest international art fair of the year all happen during it. Art Basel Miami Beach hosts over 250 galleries from across the world and exhibits art by over 2,000 artists. And that’s just the beginning: dozens of other events are held around Miami during the week, so you don’t have to pay the $35 entry fee to the big fair, just go to all the hotels in the area, where local galleries rent out entire floors and set up shop in each room, or the Wynwood district, where the hot young artists show, like our friends at O.H.W.O.W.

A Vancouver native, Taizo Yamamoto, has some good sketches that are definitively “Vancouver” exhibiting down in Miami at this show. Check them out at:

Have a look at the T-Shirts on the site as well as they are pretty rad.
I’ll be at that show tonight. Can’t wait.
Best week in Miami.
