Navigating Miami's Art Scene During 2009 Fair Week

During December 2009, Miami hosted a series of art fairs and events, including a satellite fair where a visitor observed a weary dog. The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) was located near downtown, surrounded by boxy nightclub buildings that operated after hours. The city's layout, with numerous condo towers under construction, caused navigation challenges even for experienced attendees. Streets were often one-way and blocked by ongoing development, oriented in directions like NE and NW. This period saw art finding prominence in the sunny setting of Miami, with various activities unfolding throughout the week.
