Miami Art Week has begun in Miami where exhibits, events and parties all surround one aspect: art. The pieces, several of them large scale, as well as commissioned pieces from past Design Miami fairs and the new starchitect-designed buildings (even the parking garages!) will surely guarantee the Design District's status as a unique experience and a world-class destination. Photos and descriptions by Art Editor Marlene Sholod.

Visionary developer Tony Goldman's legacy lives on in his beloved Wynwood Walls (www.thewynwoodwalls.com), the heart of Wynwood Art District's fabulous wall murals.
