Art Basel Miami Art Week 2023

We are thrilled to share an exquisite line up of art events and activities from December 3 thru Dec 10, 2023, curated exclusively for our Bal Harbour residents and Hotel guests. Experience the best of Miami Art Week with leading galleries by masters of modern and contemporary art, as well as a new age of emerging stars.

Our partners this year include The Bass, Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), Jewish Museum of Florida, YoungArts Campus, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).

This year we are excited to unveil a new installation here in our very own community by international artist and Bal Harbour resident Tania Esponda Aja. The Power of Words is a temporary exhibit that invites you to step into a world where language dissolves, yet kindness resonates. Unfamiliar words formed from eco-friendly materials emanate warmth, transcending language’s confines and connecting directly to the heart. The exhibit will be located at the 102 Street Beach Access path, beginning December 3. Visit balharbourfl.gov/powerofwords for more information.

Make the most out of Art Week with your Unscripted Bal Harbour Art Access Card. If you need an Art Access Card, you may pick yours up from Bal Harbour Village Hall with proof of address or from your Bal Harbour hotel concierge.
