Yes, Miami Art Week is full of events all around town, but the real belle of the ball takes place at the Miami Beach Convention Center. There’s good reason Art Basel contin- ues to be the most prestigious of this week’s many art fairs: Its selection process is strin- gent, ensuring that only the best galleries fo- cusing on contemporary, modern, and blue-chip art are present. Even if you can’t pony up for your own personal Warhol, a visit to the fair is a rare chance to see tons of work from established and emerging artists, all in one place. Once a piece is sold to a private col- lector, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever see it displayed in public again. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sat- urday, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 1901 Convention Center Dr., Miami Beach; art- basel.com.
