suggest that you organize your Miami art trip carefully. There's a lot going
on, including events at local art museums, private art collections,
galleries and a variety of evening and outside art events throughout Miami and Miami Beach. If you have the time, plan on spending
at least four days looking at art and enjoying the warm Florida sunshine. Also, if you find this web page useful, tell
your friends and colleagues about it.

reputation as one of the best hotel art fair in the US.
Based in Seattle, the fair has a distinctly west coast character set off by the balmy indoor/outdoor atmosphere of the Aqua Hotel. Fair organizers continue

contemporary sculpture garden along Ocean Drive in Lummus Park (adjacent to the Art
Deco Center).

Expanding beyond Miami Beach - BURST is pleased to present several public art
installations in Miami's Wynwood Arts District. This year Miami's Wynwood District will
also be host to the largest street art exhibit ever. Several emerging artists sponsored
by BURST will be creating original street art in the heart of one the most unique
concentrations of public art ever presented.
BURST on Wheels
BURST is mobile with two double-decker buses that will be completely
'wrapped' with
original art from Master Artist Carlos Cruz-Diez. Traveling a special Art Basel route, the

NADA Art Fair - Miami Beach
December 1 - 4, 2011
The Deauville Beach Resort, 6701 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33141
http://www.newartdealers.org
Founded in 2002, New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is a not-for-profit collective of professionals working with contemporary art.
Our mission is to create an open flow of information, support, and collaboration within our field and to develop a stronger sense
of community among our constituency. We believe that the adversarial approach to exhibiting and selling art has run its course.
We believe that change can be achieved through fostering constructive thought and dialogue between various points in the art industry
from large galleries to small spaces, non-profit and commercial alike.
Our international group of members includes both galleries and individuals (art professionals, independent curators, and established
gallery directors). The various perspectives and ideas offered by our diverse roster creates a network which, at its most basic, is
a resource which people could contribute to and take as much (or as little) as they are inclined. The benefits for some may be a matter
of business, for others a source of intellectual or aesthetic stimulation.
To date, our initiatives have succeeded on two fronts: making the contemporary arts more accessible for the general public, and creating
opportunities that nurture the growth of emerging artists, curators, and galleries. Our EVENTS have included: artist talks/gallery walks
with critics and curators; benefits in support of charitable institutions; members-only seminars to stimulate dedication and ethics in our
profession; and an annual art fair in Miami, which is held in December and is free and open to the public.
The New Art Dealers Alliance is a not-for profit organization, registered in the State of New York. Membership is by invitation only,
following nomination by an existing member and approval by the executive and advisory boards.

PooL Art Fair
December 2 - 4, 2011
Sadigo Court Hotel
334 20th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139
20th Street and Park Avenue, One block from Art Basel Miami Beach
http://www.poolartfair.com/
Inspired from the French tradition of artists fairs, starting from the famous Courbet’s Salon des Independents, PooL is the
premiere fair in the US dedicated to un-represented artists. The first edition took place in 2000 under the title : New York Independent Art Fair.
The simple, modest approach of the PooL Art Fair offers an exciting alternative to the "Art Fair" experience for dealers and collectors as well
as the general public. PooL's purpose is to create a meeting ground for outstanding artists, primarily those who do not yet have gallery representation.
Contemporary art dealers, artist agents, emerging galleries, artists' collectives, and non-profit organizations are also invited to apply to
participate as exhibitors. The fair serves as an invaluable resource for the artistic community and the general public.
As the fairs success continues to grow and the platform evolves we now also accept applications from Contemporary art dealers, emerging galleries,
curators and non-profit organizations. Artists from these groups shall remain open to working with other art professionals.
Our organization
Frere Independent offers artists the opportunity to be a part of the unique
and important cultural environment that manifests the week of Art Basel
Miami Beach. It is also an opportunity
for gallery owners, curators and other art enthusiasts to discover artists that are not shown in the other art fairs. Finally, artists are able
to sell works while expanding their network as well as receiving invitations to exhibit or create site-specific works.

Verge Art Miami Beach
December 1 - 4 2011
The Greenview Hotel, 1671 Washington Ave @ 17th St, Miami Beach, FL
http://www.vergeartfair.com/
Coming Thursday, December 1, Verge Art Miami Beach invites you to experience the finest, freshest work on display in Miami Beach by living artists.
Unstunted by the blue-chip rehash of a stale market, VERGE breaks away from the false quality of name recognition art to reach for something new and
cutting edge. Verge Art Miami Beach is proud to host a list of exhibitors that includes international and national gallery exhibitors, and more than
fifty artists for "The Drawing Show" and "Tomorrow Stars." Chosen by a distinguished panel of jurors,
"Tomorrow Stars" represents the brightest and
best by artists from around the globe, as selected by Meg Duguid, Clutch Gallery Director and Cultural Grants Coordinator for the Chicago Office of
Tourism and Culture, Michael Thomas, Dogmatic Gallery co-founder and sitting member of the Visual Arts Committee for the Chicago Cultural Center,
Patrick Collier, artist and critic for PortlandArt.net and ultraPDX.com, and VERGE owner Michael Workman. Don't miss out on this opportunity to
own the work of tomorrow's stars today!
Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries
of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public.
Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those
marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive
artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries,
museums and audiences who sustain it.

ART ASIA MIAMI
November 30 - December 4, 2011
NE 1st Ave (Midtown Blvd) @ NE 30th St, Miami, FL 33127
http://www.artasiafair.com/
ART ASIA Miami is a highly selective showcase of galleries from around the world that focuses on the best of established and emerging contemporary artists from throughout Asia.
Established in 2008, ART ASIA has hosted fairs in Miami and Basel. The fair has positioned itself as the forum for international galleries, curators, artists, collectors, and
educators to exchange ideas and enable new audiences to see fresh and exciting works from the complete Asian Diaspora.
In 2009, ART ASIA launched a curatorial and educational program that featured a landmark exhibition curated by Leeza Ahmady titled Truly Truthful. With over 20 artists from
15 countries Truly Truthful sought to dispel the myth that Asian contemporary art is narrowly focused on a single region.
ART ASIA Miami 2010 focused on special projects that challenged the pre-existing notions of Asian contemporary art today. ART ASIA Miami featured established and emerging artists
through six special projects with works from China, India, Iran, Korea and Japan. The fair welcomed more than 30,000 visitors - top collectors, curators, critics, artists, and art enthusiasts.
In 2011, ART ASIA Miami will further develop the presence of Near Eastern, Middle Eastern, and South East Asian galleries and artists - paying special attention to broadening the
understanding of Asian contemporary art. In 2011, the fair will host programming including artist talks, curatorial tours, and discussion panels.

November 30 - December 4, 2011
Midtown Miami | Wynwood, 3101 NE 1st Avenue, Miami, FL 33137
http://www.art-miami.com
Known as Miami's premiere anchor fair, Art Miami kicks off the opening day of Art Week
- the first week of December when thousands of collectors, dealers,
curators, and artists descend upon Miami. World-famous for its stylish gallery-like decor, its extraordinary variety and outstanding quality, Art Miami showcases
the best in modern and contemporary art from 100 international art galleries and prominent art institutions.
Art Miami maintains a preeminent position in America's contemporary art fair market. With a rich history, it is the original and longest-running contemporary art
fair in Miami and continues to receive praise for the variety of unparalleled art that it offers. As acclaim for Art Miami grows, the fair continues to attract
the participation of affluent collectors and high-quality galleries from all over the world. It is the "can't miss" event for all serious collectors, curators,
museum directors, and interior designers providing an intimate look at some of the most important work at the forefront of the international contemporary art movement.
The fair will commence on November 29, 2011 with Art Miami's highly anticipated Opening Night Preview Party benefiting The Lotus House Women's Shelter, a quiet
enclave in downtown Miami offering a sanctuary where the minds, bodies and spirits of homeless women and infants most in need are supported and nurtured.
Last year, Art Miami attracted 7,200 collectors, curators, artists, connoisseurs, and designers during its Opening Night and 46,000 attendees over a six-day
period. As Art Miami continues to attract the participation of affluent collectors and high quality galleries we are expecting to exceed these numbers for 2011.
Art Miami will be held in a state-of-the-art 125,000 square foot pavilion that will feature European style cafes serving delectable cuisine as well as an
exclusive VIP lounge. There will be ample parking available through the use of a new four-story parking garage with 2,000 spots, located directly across the

SEVEN
2637 N Miami Ave (at NE 27th Street), Miami FL - Wynwood District
November 29 - December 4, 2011
SEVEN, the pioneering collective project organized by the galleries BravinLee programs, Hales Gallery, Pierogi Gallery, Postmasters, P.P.O.W., Ronald Feldman Fine Arts
and Winkleman Gallery will return to Miami for the second year, at a new location, from November 29 through December 4, 2011. With a focus on a collaborative,
exhibition-like presentation commingling galleries and artists, SEVEN looks beyond the art fair model to create a new platform for viewing and acquiring works of art.
Inspired by the prevailing need for a more intimate, personal way to engage visitors during the Miami fair week, the members of SEVEN come together to create an
environment where artworks may be experienced in a curated context and interested parties can have a substantial, quality interaction with the dealers.
The emphasis on cooperation rather than competition relates to the founding days of these established, long-running galleries, which despite over 120 years of
combined experience, remain true to the non-conformist, adventurous nature of their beginnings in the New York and London art worlds.
SEVEN's new location, a 15,000 square foot warehouse at 2637 North Miami Ave at NE 27th Street in the Wynwood district, situates the project in the heart of
other major art fairs as well as walking distance to the Rubell Collection.
New this year are an outdoor installation space and events including a Creative Capital-sponsored video performance and brunch, details of which are to be
announced.
