How the Art Basel Miami Beach VIP preview works, and what a pass can buy

Quick
answers.

Is the convention center the whole fair?

No. Satellite fairs, museum openings and gallery shows run across Miami Beach, Wynwood, the Design District and Downtown the same week.

Which day is best for a first visit?

The first public day, in the morning, before the weekend crowds build.

Do I need a car?

No. Walk on Miami Beach and book transport for crossing the bay.

Can I buy art if I am not a collector?

Yes. Satellite fairs and editions booths have work at many price levels. Ask; prices are rarely on the wall.
