Art enthusiasts will all be flocking to Miami come December as artists from all around the world make their way to the Sunshine State to exhibit their latest creations at the world-famous Art Basel. This year’s show will be featuring over 250 world-famous galleries. At Art Basel , you can find art in all its wonderful forms, from painting, drawings, and sculptures to oversized outdoor pieces, performances, and films. Not to mention large portions of the legendary Wynwood Walls will be redone and exhibited during Art Basel as it returns to Miami.
