Along with the main event, the city plays host to dozens of satellite fairs. Here are our picks of what else to see this week

Art Basel is just one of the fairs that make Miami the art capital of the world the first week of December. Along with it come the satellite fairs that dub this time of year Miami Art Week. Some of those fairs are 30 years strong, too. While some take place in the sand in Miami Beach, others are in the heart of Miami’s art district: Wynwood. As you plan out your week of all things art, set a schedule that allows you to take in as much as you can in each corner of the 305.

Art Miami

At 30 years as one of the most important modern and contemporary art fairs in the U.S., Art Miami features works from more than 250 galleries around the world, from as close as Colombia and as far are Korea. This year more than 900 works will be on display, including works from Jackson Pollock, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. December 3-8; One Miami Herald Plaza at Northeast 14th Street, Miami.

Aqua

It’s the fair at the South Beach hotel with exhibition rooms that lead to a courtyard where collections and art lovers gather to experience fresh, new talent. It’s also a sister fair to Art Miami.December 4-8; Aqua; Aqua Hotel,1530 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach.
