Art Basel Miami week was absolutely one for the books — a non-stop whirlwind of creativity, connection, and pure energy. From major art expos and intimate community gatherings to high-energy fashion shows and those iconic late-night club vibes, the city was buzzing around the clock. Our team had boots on the ground the entire time, hitting over 40 events across just 4 packed days. We soaked up inspiration and built real relationships with some of the most innovative, creative, and successful minds in the world. The vibes were electric, the conversations were next-level, and the momentum is still carrying us forward.
We kicked off Art Basel Miami week in epic fashion with the Wearable Arts Fashion Show at the FLOW rooftop venue in downtown Brickell. The event brought together a dynamic mix of artists, designers, high-fashion models, and entrepreneurs, all celebrating bold creativity. The runway was on fire with stunning, avant-garde pieces, while MyNFTecom merch and slick cocktails from Bored Vodka kept the vibes elevated. Here are a few shots that capture the rooftop energy and those fierce looks :
The models — a beautifully diverse lineup representing cultures from everywhere — absolutely owned the stage. We closed out the night Miami-style, heading to Dante’s Courtyard in Wynwood for an unforgettable set from the legend Louie Vega. Pure electric nightlife magic. A quick recap video from the end of our first evening :
After a wild first night diving into Miami’s nightlife scene—totally worth it, but the hangover hit hard and wiped out half of day 2—we finally regrouped and linked up with the Type Media crew in Wynwood. From there, we headed to the stunning waterfront mansion known as the Type House, which became our home base for the rest of the week. After some much-needed decompression at the house, energy levels bounced back, and we were ready to dive into the action.
Teaming up with AX3 Media at the Type House, we made our way to the highly anticipated PENGU PIER event, hosted by Pudgy Penguins in collaboration with OpenSea. This massive 15,000-square-foot immersive activation at Casa Nube in Wynwood blended playful vibes with energy, offering interactive art, live music, and one of the most welcoming Web3 onboarding experiences around—no wallet required.It was the perfect spot to network deeper into the web3 community, catch up on how projects are evolving, and reconnect with friends from past events. To cap off the night, we rolled over to a Bored Ape Yacht Club-hosted event in a Wynwood nightclub (echoing the high-energy spirit of ApeFest-style takeovers), closing out day 2 with great music, vibes, and more connections in the crypto and art worlds.
After a late night that blurred into an early morning—with just a couple hours of rest in between—Day Two merged seamlessly into Day Three. We kicked things off with coffee in South Beach at Joe & The Juice, where a lively pop-up artist and DJ event was already in full swing. Fueled up, we hit the streets with a packed map of dozens of spots we wanted to hit: artist installations, hotel activations, local galleries, street pop-ups, and anything else worth capturing. We bounced between several hotels showcasing impressive installations and brand activations, weaving through galleries and spontaneous events along the way. Mid-afternoon we hopped on the water taxi across the bay.
Landing near Context Art Expo, we politely asked for media access—and locked it in. We spent a few hours exploring roughly half the booths and artists before time slipped away and we had to move on. Next stop: Beat Basel, a vibrant fusion of web3 culture and lifestyle energy. We linked up with the crew from VTA TV and stayed long enough to capture footage of The League basketball game happening on-site.As evening arrived, we headed to the main event of the night: the Doginal Dogs Merch Meetup at Selvatico. It was the perfect cap to a whirlwind day of art, activations, connections, and non-stop capturing.
After a restorative full night’s sleep, we dove back into South Beach with fresh energy for our final days at Art Basel Miami. We began at Es Devlin’s “Library of Us” on Faena Beach—a mesmerizing 20-foot rotating triangular bookshelf holding 2,500 personally curated books, set within a reflective pool and accompanied by ambient audio excerpts. This serene kinetic installation provided a unique oasis amid the week’s frenzy.
We then caught up on missed spots, including the intimate Aqua Art Miami expo and various smaller galleries and installations. Dodging gridlocked traffic, we walked the rest of the way to maximize time. The day culminated at the Doginal Dogs community’s second event at the stunning waterfront YaYa Coastal Cuisine yacht club. This Web3 NFT gathering brought together holders, fellow blockchain enthusiasts, local business owners, and fashion models for exceptional networking, complete with full catering and an open bar. The Dogs delivered a stylish, high-energy night that perfectly bridged digital culture with real-world luxury, setting an inspiring tone for future collaborations.
The late-night yacht club afterparty plans fell through, so we kept things low-key and relaxed back at the Type House. With the last day of Art Basel officially here, the focus shifted to decompression, checking out of our spot, and relocating closer to the airport for an early flight the next morning. Even so, there was still plenty of time for spontaneous adventures: linking up with DJ Alevy8 to take Wynwood by storm—diving into the graffiti culture, Wynwood Market, and Spectrum Art Expo—then reconnecting with MyNFTecom later to roam the nightlife, capture lifestyle content for his merch, and stumble across an urban art expo previewing an upcoming NFT collection, a vibrant Latin music event, and some truly dope people along the way.
The entire week was legendary—unforgettable connections, endless inspiration, and non-stop energy from start to finish. Art Basel week in Miami is a bucket-list experience everyone should have at least once. If you ever get the chance, go. You won’t regret it.
