Miami becomes the global epicentre of contemporary art every December when Art Basel opens its doors. This internationally-renowned event attracts collectors, artists and art lovers from around the world, transforming the city into a live canvas of creativity.


What is Art Basel?

Art Basel is an art fair that showcases modern and contemporary pieces by both established and up-and-coming artists. The event encompasses diverse art forms, from painting and sculpture to multimedia installations and live performances. The vibrant atmosphere of creativity and artistic expression fills the corridors of the Miami Beach Convention Center, where the masterpieces are on show.


The Spirit of Art Basel in Miami

In addition to the main fair, the entire city is transformed into a stage for satellite events, exhibitions held at local galleries and street art shows that complement the Art Basel experience. From Wynwood to Design District, every corner of Miami becomes a temporary gallery, offering a unique vision of the contemporary art scene.


The Fusion of Art and Community

Art Basel not only boasts exclusive exhibitions and sales, but it’s also an opportunity for the local community to connect with art. Workshops, talks, film screenings and interactive events take place across the city, inviting everyone to become immersed in the beauty and provocation of modern art.


Axel Beach Miami becomes ArtAxel

Axel Beach Miami is strategically located in the heart of Miami, offering guests both comfort and luxury during their Art Basel experience. The Art Deco design and welcoming environment make our hotel the perfect refuge to come back to after an exciting day exploring the world of contemporary art.

During Art Basel week (5-10 December) we call upon all artists who want to showcase their work in the official ArtAxel galleries, a space where creativity is limitless. Showcase below!

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s more. We’ve got a programme complete with different activities each day during that week, including networking sessions, inspirational spaces, artist connection opportunities, etc.

Art Basel in Miami is more than an art event. It’s a cultural celebration that transforms the city into a living canvas! Take part in the experience this December and let yourself be drawn in by the magic of art across Miami.
