๐Ÿ˜  Artists beware. Over 85% of the solo artists did not make sales to even cost the booth fee. The staff are extremely rude when asked for advice. Mark Shapiro said he had no time for the artists. Poor advertising to attract quality buyers. Owner told artists at opening meeting to not expect any sales... People often mention artists, event, time, great,

    Artists beware. Over 85% of the solo artists did not make sales to even cost the booth fee. The staff are extremely rude when asked for advice. Mark Shapiro said he had no time for the artists. Poor advertising to attract quality buyers. Owner told artists at opening meeting to not expect any sales but it was our attitude to blame if there was no buyers. They failed in Dallas and now Miami. Majority of return artists said they were not coming back. Highly recommend finding a different art fair or gallery. Check and contact past artists before paying. They leech off artists then blame them for not selling. Their guidelines are not followed but if you follow the guidelines then no one will buy. Majority of the guests were not buyers. The very few buyers were looking for super cheap artwork. Don't trust the staff. Bring a wide variety of prices and sizes with prints. Mostly abstract art or wall art sold. Miami was a waste of money. Other gallery owners even talk artists to not take it personally because this art fair has lost its value in the art scene. This was not a professional event. Very disappointed. We all will not be returning. I hope others speak up about the poor quality management.

    Came to Red Dot Art fair today. The drive was smooth. I came in around 1pm so parking was easy. I bought my tickets online; came in to the venue masks are enforced but not mandatory. Moving on to the art exhibit. The art exhibit is big so youโ€™ll need at least two hours to explore everything in detailed. Thereโ€™s art for everyoneโ€™s taste so I highly recommend it. Amenities within the venue: bathrooms, bars, and a few food stands for empanadas and light easy things to bite on. Dogs to my surprised are allowed. I saw a lot of dogs and service dogs as well. I had a good experience from beginning to end people were friendly and I enjoyed my visit.

    An amazing event. Thank you for having this. Thank you to the Artists; all of you have great talent. Unique art here. Also, the staff here goes above and beyond to answer any ticket/ event questions. Very professional and prompt in the response. Also, unlike some other events, here, you can decide which day you go(i.e., your ticket is valid for any event day) unless otherwise specified. There are no time slots or limitations.

    Red Dot is great for the galleries. Gallerists curate their own spaces. Scope, for instance, cherry-picks the artists of the galleries and tailors it to the event. Red Dot has more art that would also be shown outside of Miami, which is better for collecting.

    Ok Art Fair. It's nice to be able to speak with the Artists. But Parking was a Chore.

    Energy and creativity was overflowing and expressed on every corner, in every store, and by everybody. I hope the neighborhood can sustain this energy and provide the needed housing, schools, and infrastructure for everyone.... New residents and old.

    As usual, high quality artwork, friendly staff and lots to see. A must during the Miami Arts Week season.

    Art Basel is one of my favorite times of the year! And the art exhibit here was amazing!

  • 4/5 Your Helpful W. 4 years ago on Google
    Second time at this great event and I liked it!! I loved everything about it. We found a place in the street across and used the pay by a phone app. But that was only by good luck. I loved the great venue they used; Mana Wynwood is a good place for this event, where you can find all the artwork pieces comfortably and not on top of each other. Thank you, everyone, for a good event, I can not wait until next year!!

    Definitely not worth the trek from other Art Week festivities. There was some cool art, but nothing noteworthy. However, the reason for one star is the clientele. I went on VIP opening, and was surprised at the lack of composure of fellow guests.

    First time at this venue for a VIP Gallery Opening tonight. It was great to meet some of the amazing artist and see their collections. #artbasel2021
