ART WYNWOOD FAIR Readies for Second Edition

Following its widely acclaimed inaugural edition, the groundbreaking Art Wynwood Fair, enthusiastically embraced by the international art dealer community, Miami and the Wynwood Arts District will return for its second year during Presidents Weekend February 14- 18, 2013. Art Wynwood will take place in the spacious 100,000-square-foot Art Miami Pavilion, which attracted more than 60,000 attendees during the 2012 edition of Art Miami.

Guests at the exclusive VIP Preview on Valentine's Day, February 14 will experience a First View of the highly anticipated Art Wynwood at this private reception. It's the first opportunity to acquire some of the finest pieces of contemporary art before the Fair opens to the public. VIP guests will enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

Showcasing a diverse range of fresh and edgy works by established and emerging international contemporary artists from more than 13 countries around the globe, Art Wynwood continues to shine a spotlight on Midtown Miami and the Wynwood Arts District as a flourishing international cultural destination and the epicenter of Miami's art, fashion, design and culinary communities.

A main feature of the 2013 Fair will be the highlight of street art, murals, pop surrealism and other genres from the contemporary underground movement exemplified by two very special projects by Wynwood Walls including a stunning wrap around installation suspended above the VIP Lounge by famed artist Jesse Geller courtesy of Goldman Properties, in honor of the late Tony Goldman. Art Wynwood is perfectly positioned to further the growing world-wide recognition of this movement by providing the enthusiast and seasoned art world traveler alike, a distinctive opportunity to explore, learn and collect what is fast becoming the most significant art movement of our times.

"We are honored to be dedicating this years Art Wynwood fair to the late Tony Goldman, who was so instrumental in the launch of Art Wynwood. We have received an incredibly positive response from those who visited and participated in the inaugural edition of Art Wynwood, last year. This year's strong renewal rate of participating galleries and new participating galleries reflects a confidence that Midtown Miami's Wynwood Arts District has truly evolved into a year-round cultural destination for collecting contemporary art, particularly during President's Day Weekend.", says Nick Korniloff, Fair Director and Partner.
