Below, discover a first look at the standout moments so far—with more unforgettable nights still unfolding.
Art Basel Women In The Arts Luncheon
As Miami Art Week 2025 kicked off, Miami Magazine honored the visionaries, creators, and leaders shaping Miami’s cultural landscape with its annual Women in the Arts Luncheon at Milos in South Beach. Guests arrived to a striking Porsche display embellished with florals, setting the tone for an event that celebrated both artistic innovation and female influence in the arts.
Attendees mingled before taking their seats at elegantly dressed tables layered with branded menus, thoughtful details, and gifting from Greek Goddess Granola and skincare partners. Wahl led a series of speaking moments introducing Porsche, recognizing honorees Sarah Arison and Dr. Mariet Westermann, and offering reflections on the creative talent transforming Miami’s arts community.
Art Issue Release Party
Later that evening, Miami Magazine celebrated the launch of its 2025 Art Issue with an elevated release dinner at Contessa, gathering key figures from Miami’s creative and cultural community for an event that honored artistry, influence, and connection. The dinner spotlighted this year’s cover stars: Gladstone Media founders Jeremy and Robyn Gladstone, joined by Chief Business Development Officer Simon Mass.
Set against Contessa’s dramatic pink interiors and gilded ambiance, guests arrived to a vibrant scene complete with a lush flower wall and sparkling Lagos vitrines. At the bar, the Makech cocktail and chilled Mionetto Minis kept the energy bright. Bartenders poured, clinked, and stirred as guests mingled across the restaurant. From beautifully plated bites to spirited toasts and glistening jewels, the evening embodied an elegant start to a packed lineup of cultural programming across Miami.
Art of Self Care
Held on the serene Ocean Terrace at 1 Hotel South Beach, Ocean Drive hosted a morning dedicated to movement, mindfulness, and luxury wellness at the Art of Self Care event, sponsored by Dr. Mercola. Against a backdrop of ocean views and lush greenery, guests explored immersive wellness activations and participated in a series of fitness classes led by some of Miami’s most sought-after instructors.
Attendees flowed through four signature sessions, from a dynamic start with pre- and postnatal pilates and fitness creator Starr Hawkins to invigorating workouts with Anatomy and Life Time, and a closing PWRFLOW session led by Regine Santa Maria. Between classes, guests enjoyed bright orange Mionetto spritzes and LaCroix sparkling water alongside a curated lineup of self-care activations, including skincare by JECT and scent explorations with The Harmonist. Celebrating balance, beauty, and self-love, Art of Self Care offered a restorative pause amid the buzz of Miami Art Week.
Art of The Party
Ocean Drive brought the energy in true Miami fashion with its iconic Art of the Party event, partnering with Mary Lou’s for an exclusive pop-up experience and transforming the Harbour Club into a multi-layered celebration of culture, music, and high design. The evening opened with an intimate dinner honoring December cover stars SOFI TUKKER, who arrived in a sleek Maserati Grecale. Following dinner, the celebration unfolded across the Harbour Club’s immersive speakeasy and upstairs VIP levels, complete with Hendricks Gin and LaCroix sparkling water.
In the speakeasy, DJ Arkitekt’s performance kicked off a high-energy lineup, with Italian bites, Negronis, and candles from Acqua di Parma setting the vibe. Upstairs, the party reached its crescendo as SOFI TUKKER delivered an electrifying performance, joined throughout the night by sets from Brooke Brazelton and Mike Tully. With Maserati vehicles gleaming outside, music pulsing through every room, and Miami’s creative community mingling well past midnight, Art of the Party once again solidified its place as one of the week’s most anticipated celebrations.
