Highlights from Aqua Art Fair Miami Beach
The Aqua Art Fair in Miami Beach, Dec. 6-9, 2012 featured galleries and artists that inspired us beyond the setting of the traditional convention center setting: a hotel where emerging art lies within every threshold.
About Aqua:
Aqua is a contemporary art fair which takes place in Miami Beach each December, during Art Basel Week. The event is located at the Aqua Hotel, 1530 Collins Avenue. The fair began in 2005 as an experiment in bringing together innovative galleries and artists from the West Coast during Art Basel Week. Over the years, Aqua has been recognized for presenting vibrant and noteworthy international art programs, with a particular interest in supporting young dealers and galleries with strong emerging and early-mid career artists.
