Highlights from Art Basel Miami Beach and tips for visiting in 2012 In the United States, Art Basel Miami Beach is the best opportunity to see great contemporary art. The main event brings so many art collectors to Miami that more than fifteen satellite fairs operate over the same weekend. Add to that the local galleries, private collections, and museums that are open, and you've got more great art than you can see in a weekend. For highlights of 2011 and tips to visiting in 2012, be sure to see our article on Art Basel Miami Beach.

If you could only go to one event in a year, Art Basel in Switzerland would be a great choice. This immense art fair features prominent galleries from around the world and almost all the top modern and contemporary artists. Check out our article on Art Basel Switzerland to help plan your trip. ArtPrize in Grand Rapids
If you like discovering artists before anyone else, one opportunity is at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, MI. The $200,000 top prize in this event is a purchase award, so you won't likely see any art valued more than that amount. But if you're up for lots of walking and the chance to see an interesting social experiment, it's worth a trip. For great tips about visiting this event, as well as a look at some 2011 winners and entrants, see our article on ArtPrize 2012. Visiting New York
