Local Galleries & Artists Found at Art Basel, Miami Art Week 2015
Miami Art Week, which ran from December 1-6, is a must-see travel destination for art lovers from around the world. This much-anticipated art week included over twenty satellite art fairs, and Art Basel Miami, considered by many to be the most important art fair in the United States.
Among the 2,00o+ artists, international travelers, and celebrities sightings, we had our eye out for San Francisco artists and galleries who were showing during Miami Art Week. While surprisingly difficult to find the exhibitors by their city online, we searched the Where’s Waldo way, by checking out these fairs in person. Here’ s what we found.

Mirius Gallery participated in Scope Miami Beach 2015. The gallery had a specially curated booth featuring a two-person show with artists Felipe Pantone and Adam Friedman.

Hashimoto Contemporary was seen at Miami Project. This gallery based in the Tenderloin, maintains quite a busy calendar with local art shows at least once a month, if not twice a month. They’ve also exhibited at a number of major art fairs across the country, including LA Art Show, Art on Paper NYC, Art Market SF, and Miami Project.
Artwork by Ryan Martin
Ryan Martin is a locally based painter who’s work was shown via Elizabeth Houston Gallery, a contemporary gallery in downtown New York, seen at Scope Miami.
In the lobby of Deauville Beach Resort, home of Art on Paper and Miami Project, there was a small area selling art show related goodies. Among these items were these baseball tees, designed by Dave Eggers. All proceeds went toward 826 Valencia, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students, ages six to eighteen, with their creative writing skills. Dave Eggers is the co-founder of 826 Valencia, writer, publisher, and artist.
