Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The uninitiated often make the erroneous assumption that Art Basel Miami Beach is actually about art. But the real reason for staging the fair, one of North America’s most massive and moneyed art-world office parties, is just that — to party.
If you’re one of those big-baller investor types, your Basel headquarters should be the Florida Room, where French club Le Baron will stage a total takeover for the second year in a row. This Wednesday through Sunday, these Parisian purveyors of nightlife mayhem will cohost parties with Design Miami, Purple Fashion magazine, and Visionaire, not to mention a Jalouse magazine bash starring pop-punk band the Virgins.
