The bustling seaside enclave of Coconut Grove is home to a thriving, year-round art scene, and Vita at Grove Isle residents are perfectly placed to immerse themselves in the area’s rich creative spirit. The neighborhood's monthly gallery walks on the first Saturday of each month are a great place to start. These walks guide participants to local art venues, where they will encounter exhibitions by local, professional, and emerging artists, and also pause for hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine at stops along the way. There is also the annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival, which occurs every February. The festival regularly draws more than 100,000 attendees, and features works by nearly 300 artists, along with a host of culinary events and special activities for the community’s youngest artists.
The peak of artistic activity in the area takes place each December, when Art Basel transforms Miami into a hub for the global art community, drawing artists, collectors, and enthusiasts from all corners of the world. This international art fair stands at the forefront of this dynamic scene, showcasing creative brilliance spanning five continents. As the sole Art Basel exhibition in America, running this year from December 6–8, it positions Miami as a cultural mecca and offers residents the opportunity to experience a mix of groundbreaking works.
