This year marks 20 years since the Swiss fair first came to town, bringing with it plenty of art, perfor- mances, an increasing tally of crypto-related things, and, yes, an insane number of parties. While Art Basel’s official dates are Decem- ber 1-3 at the Miami Beach Convention Cen- ter, the surrounding parties flow throughout the entire Miami Art Week. And the parties are everywhere and everything, ranging from free public spectacles to ultra-private, invite- only affairs. Amid hundreds and hundreds of options, here are the ten best parties the general pub- lic can attend — invite not required. ELEMENTAL WITH MALAA, DUKE DUMONT, AND OTHERS Elemental has all the elements for a good time for crypto-loving denizens. Billed as having one of the largest collections of NFTs and with daytime talks focusing on tech, pol- icy, virtual reality, and seemingly everything in between, Elemental nighttime program- ming will be a time to turn up. DJs slated to perform include masked French producer Malaa (November 30), English producer Duke Dumont (December 1), RL Grime (De- cember 2), and Madeon (December 3). 9 p.m. Wednesday, November 30, through Sunday, December 4, at Elemental Compound, 59 NW 36th St., Miami; elemental.miami. Tickets cost $25 to $70 via elementalmiami.xtixs.com. ALESSO, BLACK COFFEE, MARTIN GARRIX, AND OTHERS at LIV The good vibes of Miami Art Week only get elevated with good beats.
