Art Basel Guide 2015 (Miami)

It's crazy to see AB/MB balloon into this massive art party amongst the galleries/collectors/enthusiast that descend on Miami every December. Being a native, I remember '08 Basel consisted of only a few exhibitions at hotels scattered on the beach - aside from the main exhibition at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Now with the plethora of parties, launches, and fairs , an overview of it all is essential to find the best vibes!

check out my brief guide to the best of Art Basel '15 so far + can't forget this  primer on getting around in Basel traffic. Our beloved Miami Herald has put together all the info on getting around with UberBoat, Water Taxi, and Shuttle.
