On the cusp of Baselphrenia, the sad truth is that all this contemporary art mania drowns out the talented pool of local artists. So pay homage to Miami's creatives with a visit to the gigantic Francisco Locastro mural on 36th Street and NW Third Avenue. This year, the TM Sisters (Natasha and Monica Lopez de Victoria) have hosted the Groslch G-Spot public art tour and have video work on display at O Cinema for "Everyday Charms." Make sure you pay your respects to the homegrown scene in between gawking at Damien Hirsts, Andy Warhols, and Tracey Emins.
