Art Basel once again returns to Miami this fall. From December 3-6, over 200 galleries from around the world will convene at the Miami Beach Convention Center to show off work by the leaders in contemporary and modern art, as well as some of the most exciting new faces and voices in film, photography, sculpture and installation art.

In addition to the main programming put on by Art Basel, there are plenty of cool side projects, one-offs and parallel exhibitions that pop up throughout Miami during the fest. Whether you’re looking for a bite to eat or a change of scenery (quite literally), exploring beyond Art Basel can reap some incredible rewards.

Watch for these and more during your Miami stay.

Michy’s Popup
Lauded local chef Michelle Bernstein (Seagrape, Cena by Michy) brings soulful signature dishes with a Floridian touch to the Botanical Garden’s Banyan Room. Oysters, short ribs, fried chicken, snapper and more will be accentuated by local, just-picked ingredients and an international wine list. Missed booking a table for dinner in advance? No worries – tapas and cocktails are also available.

Satellite
Looking for something a little edgy? Check out Satellite, an alternative exhibition taking place during the first week of December. Art, performance, music, new media and much more will be shown at various beachfront venues, taking cutting-edge creations to new and exciting locations throughout South Beach. Satellite’s distinct emphasis on the digital/interactive realms will ensure visitors are thoroughly wowed no matter what they see or engage with.

Design Miami
Design is an art form in and of itself – just one of the reasons Design Miami sets up shop every year alongside Art Basel in Miami Beach. Furniture, centerpieces, lighting, architecture and more all play a part in shaping Design Miami’s content. Luminaries from the worlds of art, fashion, architecture and furniture design will offer panels, lectures, collaborations and inspiration.
