Following its widely acclaimed inaugural edition, the groundbreaking Art Wynwood Fair, enthusiastically embraced by the international art dealer community, Miami and the Wynwood Arts District will return for its second year during Presidents Weekend February 14- 18, 2013. Art Wynwood will take place in the spacious 100,000-square-foot Art Miami Pavilion, which attracted more than 60,000 attendees during the 2012 edition of Art Miami. Guests at the exclusive VIP Preview on Valentine's Day, February 14 will experience a First View of the highly anticipated Art Wynwood at this private reception. It's the first opportunity to acquire some of the finest pieces of contemporary art before the Fair opens to the public. VIP guests will enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Showcasing a diverse range of fresh and edgy works by established and emerging international contemporary artists from more than 13 countries around the globe, Art Wynwood continues to shine a spotlight on Midtown Miami and the Wynwood Arts District as a flourishing international cultural destination and the epicenter of Miami's art, fashion, design and culinary communities.
