Haven't set foot in a gallery or museum in months? That will probably change next week when the art world descends upon the Magic City for Art Basel and the surrounding Miami Art Week activities.

Though some consider Art Basel and its satellite fairs a glorified flea market, it's still a thrilling way to see some of the best contemporary art and trends. Fairs such as NADA, Pulse, and Art Miami also seem to match the insanity happening at the Miami Beach Convention Center, while quirkier fairs like Superfine! and Satellite can come off a bit more tongue-in-cheek but are well worth visiting. Then there are events such as Prizm and Fair that hope to correct the power imbalance in an art economy that favors white men over women and people of color.

That's not to say you should brush off the grandaddy of them all, Art Basel. From blue-chip works to museum-quality contemporary art, the convention center will be packed with some of the most recognizable names in the art world.

Here's your guide to all the action happening at the tents.
