Imagine blue skies, palm trees, beautiful beaches — and ART — all together in one! That's what Miami Art Week is all about.
We’ve had the time of our lives at Miami art week for the past three years, and this year’s trip includes some of the ‘best hits’ from our previous trips — but is sure to be even better!
Centered around North America’s biggest contemporary art fair, Art Basel Miami, the entire city of Miami transforms into a canvas for ephemeral installations and art happenings, and museums and private collections display their most impressive exhibits for 1 week/year only.
And while this annual celebration of the arts can feel daunting for the uninitiated, together with the Amelia travel agency, we have curated a 3-night weekend of art-full bliss with the perfect mix of art fairs, museums and free time to explore the city and its wealth of culture — plus the opportunity to share your experiences and impressions with new friends and old over delicious group brunches and dinners.
This year’s trip includes upgraded accommodations at the Meridian South Beach (including a pool!), plus a mix of some of the best art week activities Miami has to offer, including guided tours of the stunning Perez Art Museum and Wynnwood murals as well as curated walk-throughs of the Art Basel Miami and Untitled fair, delicious group dinners at some of Miami’s best restaurants and of course time to enjoy the beach and hotel pool!
This popular annual trip is limited to 8 attendees and is sure to sell out fast, so make sure to book your spot before prices go up on November 1st!
