EWM Realty International/Christies Sponsors Miami Art Fairs

Art, art everywhere is basically the theme for December.  If you are visiting our beautiful city during Art Miami and Art Basel, take the time to visit some of our other art attractions.  Since Art Miami runs December 3-8 and Art Basel runs the 5-8, I have added options on either end of those dates.

Art@TheJames – James Royal Palm Hotel, Miami Beach

December –  Concrete Paradise Exhibit Coral Gables Museum

December –     MDC Galleries of Art and Design, Miami

December 14 – Artists At Vizcaya

Or you can pull up Miami-Dade’s Art in Public Places map to see all of the places in Miami where you can see more art.

10 Things To Do In Miami In October

I love October in South Florida.  Not only does the weather start to tease with occasional cooler, drier temperatures, but it is the official start of our art season.  Although we now have cultural activities year-round with our monthly art walks, museum exhibits, and great musical programming at the Arsht Center and venues throughout South Florida, we really kick into high gear in October.  Here is a list of some venues to try in October:

  1. Soundscape movies every Wednesday starting in October through December 18 at the New World Symphony (free)
  2. Wallcasts October 5 & 25 at the New World Symphony (free)
  3. Sounds At Fairchild October 6, 13, & 20 at Fairchild Tropical Garden
  4. Barnacle Under Moonlight Concert October 11
  5. Diavolo’s Transit Space Dance October 12 & 13 South Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center
  6. Ruthless, the musical October 18, Actor’s Playhouse
  7. Artists At Vizcaya October 19 at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
  8. Wine on Harvest Moon October 19 at the Deering Estate
  9. Jazz at Pinecrest Gardens October 26
  10. New World School of the Arts Repertory Dance Ensemble October 30 at the Aventura Art and Cultural Center

In case you have a free day in October with this calendar,remember most of our museums have free days every month.
