MIAMI’S ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR RETURNS FOR ITS 21ST EDITION
The Art Miami Pavilion | December 1 – December 5, 2010

Art Miami (www.art-miami.com), Miami’s longest running contemporary art fair will once again electrify the city from December 1 – December 5, 2010. As the anchor art fair of the city of Miami, the fair will return with a compelling array of modern and contemporary artwork from over 100 international galleries and prominent art institutions. Art Miami will be held in a state-of-the-art 125,000 square foot pavilion in Miami’s burgeoning Midtown Miami Arts district.

Now in its 21st year, Art Miami will kick off Art Week on November 30th, when thousands of international collectors, dealers, curators and artists descend upon Miami to experience the string of contemporary, high-energy fairs that Miami is known for. Distinguished for its depth, diversity and quality, Art Miami maintains a preeminent position in America’s contemporary art fair market.

The fair will commence on Tuesday evening, November 30, 2010 with Art Miami’s highly-anticipated Opening Night VIP Preview benefiting The Lotus House Women's Shelter, a quiet enclave in downtown Miami that offers a sanctuary for homeless women and infants most in need. The exclusive evening is the first opportunity for VIP collectors to acquire some of the finest pieces of modern and contemporary art from the 20th and 21st centuries while also raising money for an important cause. Last year, Art Miami’s Opening Night Preview attracted over 6,500 international collectors, philanthropists, museum professionals, museum professionals, curators and journalists.

Over the past three years, Art Miami has continued to attract the participation of international affluent collectors and high-quality galleries from all over the world.  It is a “can’t miss” event for all serious art enthusiasts, curators and collectors, providing an intimate look at some of the most important work at the forefront of the international contemporary art movement.

“As Miami’s anchor fair, we have maintained the reputation as an unrivalled venue for acquiring innovative contemporary and modern art.  We provide a platform for both seasoned and emerging galleries to showcase their artists. Art Miami is different in its approach—it is a fair that represents an overall cross section of what the contemporary art market has to offer. The depth and diversity of Art Miami is relevant to contemporary art collectors as it is the only fair that can provide unique opportunities from all disciplines and all price points for our attendees,” said Nick Korniloff, Director, Art Miami.   

Always seeking to improve the experience of the fair for its attendees, Art Miami will host a series of compelling lectures and panel discussions with some of the leading voices from the international art scene.  In addition, visitors can look forward to curated indoor and outdoor projects, as well as Art Video and New Media installations on loan for exhibition by participating galleries, private collections and museums.

“Art Miami has long since been an important mainstay in Miami's cultural and artistic community. Particularly in the last few years, Art Miami has proved itself as one of America's top fairs with its dedication to continuous growth and improvement. We are looking forward to returning to an even greater Art Miami with stronger galleries, more collectors, and a truly professional show management.”  Said Kaj Forsblom, owner and director of Galerie Forsblom, one of Scandinavia’s leading international galleries.
