Greetings from Miami! This week we're focusing on the excitement down south. If you're looking to make the most of Miami, our Miami Guide is a good place to start, with an overview of the art fairs and a calendar of events and picks. We also have more personal recommendations to help you through the week: a day-by-day plan from art world veteran Eric Shiner of the Warhol Museum and a packed calendar from the Artlog team.

Artlog's Top Weekly Picks
Art & Extravagance at Art Basel(01 of04)

The country's biggest and most extravagant art happening, Art Basel Miami Beach is still the epicenter of the week's events and satellite fairs. You'll find serious collectors at today's Art Basel Miami Beach Vernissage and, for emerging work, Thursday morning's NADA Art Fair Preview. More emerging artists will be over in the Wynwood district at fairs like PULSE, Fountain and Art Miami. Two newcomers we're paying attention to are SEVEN, which features seven galleries from NYC and London challenging the standard art fair model, and the Zoom Art Fair, which focuses on artists from the Middle East.Art Basel and New York's Creative Time have partnered on the 2010 Oceanfront Nights program, a nightly schedule of performances, art, and music from four cities known for their dynamic, up-and-coming arts communities: Detroit, Mexico City, Berlin, and Glasgow.

Miami's premier art institutions are also welcoming visitors with galas and parties, including the Wolfsonian, MoCA, Bass, and Miami Art Museum and renowned private collections like the Rubell, De la Cruz, Cisneros, and Marguiles families. Not to be left out, MOMA PS1 and Deitch's LA MoCA represent the coasts with parties. The week's major party spots include The Delano, The Raleigh, Mondrian, Soho Miami Beach House, and The Standard.

The Hottest Art Hangouts in Miami(03 of04)

You'll want to keep an eye on The Soho Miami Beach House (pictured), though if you're not a VIP or a member you might have tough luck getting into this private, members only club. Soho House will host events by Robert Mondavi, Swarovski, W Magazine, Chloe, and more throughout the week. Le Baron is the place to be end the night - this famous Paris hotspot relocates each year for Art Basel. This year you'll find the late-night crowd at the Delano's Florida Room.
Where to Find Emerging Art(04 of04)

While blockbuster artists are at Art Basel, the NADA Art Fair, now in its eighth year, is recognized as the world's preeminent fair for important emerging galleries. NADA is the only non-profit fair in Miami that is free and open to the public - reflecting the continued mission to create greater opportunity for exposure to contemporary art. Artlog hosts the official online catalogue for NADA, where you can browse artwork and galleries from Miami or at home. The image is Nitrogen Cycle/10 Reds by Leslie Shows from Jack Hanley Gallery's booth at NADA. Look out for performances and events critical of the fair model in "#Rank," hosted by SEVEN Art Fair. On the #Rank program for Thursday night, artist Nic Rad performs a meditation on Cleveland and LeBron James, Taking My Talents to South Beach, as told from the perspective of Jeff Koons' Three Ball Total Equilibrium. You can follow the conversations around the events on our Conversation page, which aggregates all the fairs' twitter hashtags.
