ABOUT THIS EDITION

Every December, Miami Beach becomes the center of the art world, and the city’s most exclusive rooms fill with collectors, artists, founders + cultural icons. The Art Basel Miami Special Edition is The Elitist’s guide to the week that defines Miami’s social season.

 

Inside, we go behind the velvet rope with The Inner Circle, follow the money behind the magic + explore the art of arrival, from private aviation to the yacht culture that turns Biscayne Bay into a floating gallery. We examine Miami’s new power shift as capital, creativity + hospitality converge, and open the doors to the members-only rooms where the week’s most important conversations happen. The edition features The Elitist Interview with Michael Mando, alongside artist Shawn Kolodny + designer Dion Atlier.

 

Released December 1, 2026, at the start of Art Basel week, the Special Edition is designed to be read before the first preview opens. Members of The Members Collective receive the edition early, invitations to our Art Basel activations + concierge assistance with private jet travel, yacht charters, villa stays + the week’s hardest reservations.

 

From Miami Beach to the Design District, this is how the elite experience Art Basel Miami Beach.
