communitynewspapers.comWindow Stopping: Woman Pays $1,300 A Night To Stay In Airbnb Shop Window
By Joseph GolderA prank Airbnb listing for $1,300 for a night in a shop window display has backfired after an American tourist snapped it up. The listing was supposed to serve as a joke as part of the international Art Basel art fair in Switzerland.

thewestsidegazette.comA retrospective guide to Miami Art Week
Amidst all the chaos, Art Basel is but one of the many events that occur during Miami Art Week. Ever since Art Basel was founded in Switzerland, global buying interest stimulates the creation of a marketplace where galeries reflect the universal art world. When visiting, It’s important to remember that the main purpose of Art Basel is for dealers to purchase and exchange art. Like Art Basel, the event is similarly blueprinted into sectioned art gallery booths, but the smaller size and neutral backgrounds create a loftier feel than the distinct differentiations found at Art Basel. The art is fresh and often experimental in the most peculiar ways—a great introduction to the heavy hitters at Art Basel.

Jada Brings Art With a Message to Miami Art Week
When Art Basel announced in September that it wouldn’t be returning to the Miami Beach Convention Center for Miami Art Week this year, the disappointment was felt in the global art community.
