Spectrum Miami
Spectrum Miami is not a classic art fair. It is a curated art show that showcases every year the work of more than 150 independent artists, studios and young galleries. It has a very welcoming and good-natured atmosphere as many artists are on hand to meet the public and talk about their art. Taking place during the mot-to-be-missed Miami Art Week, Spectrum Miami is the perfect place to begin a collection. Indeed, there are many affordable pieces and the range of mediums and style is broad enough to meet all kinds of tastes. The fair is part of Redwood Art Group which holds Red Dot Miami, Artexpo New York, Art Santa Fe, Art San Diego, Spectrum Miami, Spectrum Wynwood and the newest one, Spectrum Brooklyn.
