The most important art show in the United States lights up Miami beach next month and the lineup looks better than ever - if you can believe it!

Art Basel, considered by many to be a cultural utopia of ever-ascending heights, is set for Dec. 3-6. I love Art Basel. It is creativity personified...a celebration of talent and technique that sets itself apart with signature prestige. One of the main reasons Art Basel is so cool is its accepting culture. While it is definitely the preeminent arts event to hit America, it remains accessible to the novice art lover as much as it welcomes serious collectors.

For eight years, Art Basel has made its North American home in Miami Beach. It is the sister event to Art Basel Switzerland -- the world's most exclusive art event which has been around for four decades. Prepare to rethink your world once you experience Art Basel. Your mind's boundaries will be stretched and your understanding redefined as introspective beauty is displayed in every conceivable medium. Seriously, Art Basel fills Miami's Art Deco district with the coolest vibe ever: from film to fresco, performance art to pottery by more than 250 top art galleries around the world.

For an epicurean experience you're likely to remember for quite some time, plan to attend next month's Art Basel. But, I warn you, once you come once, you'll come back for a lifetime. It's just that good.
