As excitement for the prestigious art and design week descends upon Miami and Miami Beach next week, I’ve been in research mode – curating and building my list of must-see exhibitions and artworks. Here I share a few that are on my “not to miss” list. Can’t wait to immerse myself in the art and design world and report on the diverse fairs and design week events – and to share all of it with you. Make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram so you don’t miss a moment!
