Black and Basel 2018

When Art Basel arrived in Miami Beach in 2001, collectors, jet-setters, visual artists, curators and administrators, and lovers of all-things-cultural on South Beach, flooded the area and satellite locations. Now, close to two decades later, every gallery, artist, and non-profit wants a part of the weekend! That is a positive thing. Art Basel Miami Beach/Miami Art Week brings no less than 13 million dollars to the Miami-Dade County economy while providing a platform for over 4,000 artists to exhibit and perform. The palpable energy of the highly anticipated arts week encourages people to enjoy art in traditional and non-traditional ways.

Our favorite part of Art Basel Miami Beach/Art Miami Week is the representation of Black artists from the African diaspora: Haiti, the United States, Ghana, Nigeria, France, Brazil, Jamaica, and Cuba – to name a few. You will find these artists in Miami Beach and the surrounding cities exhibiting their work and performing. This year, you can party with Virgil Abloh and view the work of Afro-Cuban artist Alexandre Arrechea. The amount of artwork by late-career and early career artists is vast and requires some research and planning if you want to experience everything the diaspora has to offer.

With an event bursting with small and significant exhibits, this guide gives you everything you need to find artists of African descent. You will be able to explore Miami neighborhoods that have an exciting history and support the local Black Miami art scene, as well as larger fairs in commercial districts with our map below.
