9 Awesome Venues for Art Basel Parties

Art Basel is an art fair held in Basel (Switzerland), Hong Kong, and Miami Beach (Florida). It attracts an international audience, especially those who want to purchase works of art, as well as those simply seeking to admire the art. In Florida, Art Basel is held at the Miami Beach Convention Center. It involves a huge number of events, including live music and panels on topics like entrepreneurship, pop-up galleries, immersive art experiences, and of course, countless Art Basel parties.

When you’ve had your fill of Art Basel events, you might be one of the many attendees who plan a separate, smaller event of your own — perhaps an after-party, cocktail party, happy hour, catered dinner, or something else entirely.

We’ve assembled a list of nine of the coolest, most impressive Peerspace venues for Art Basel parties. All of these exciting, stylish spaces can be yours to rent by the hour.
