Welcome to Rap Basel, a manual for all things art and Hip-Hop during Art Basel in the 305.
Miami Art Week is happening December 5 - December 10 from Miami Beach to Wynwood. You can find the official schedule for all the returning galleries including SCOPE Miami Beach, Spectrum Miami, Art Beat Miami and more here.
Real art and rap fans from the crib know the festivities begin as soon as December 2. There will be countless exhibits and events as well as performances from some of the most popular and underground MC's in the game, especially in celebration of Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary.
Check out my list of recommended galleries, events and more below. Some events are free, most require a RSVP and others are ticketed. If you want to RSVP for an event, do it fast! Once they sell they sell out or the event exceeds capacity, entrance is not guaranteed. This list will be updated with any last-minute events so stay tuned all week long!
