Cube Art Fair
Non-fungible tokens are in the spotlight, so it’s not surprising that there’s an NFT art fair during Miami Art Week. The Cube Art Fair is a public art fair that takes over 50 billboard locations across Brickell, downtown, Overtown, Wynwood and Edgewater. Of course, the one percent that flies to Opa-locka Executive Airport will have its own version of the fair, with each display in the airport’s private hangers showing NFTs for sale. As everyone goes crazy for NFTs – many of them are not very good and are unlikely to hold their value in the long run – Miami Art Week may see the media reach a new level of hype, and Cube is likely to play a major role in it . Wednesday, December 1st through Friday, December 5th in various locations; cubeartfair.com. There is free admission.

Wednesday, Dec. 1 through Friday, Dec. 5 at Time Out Market Miami, 1601 Drexel Ave., Miami Beach; 786-753-5388; timeoutmarket.com/miami. There is free admission.
Flagler Street Art Festival
Developer Moishe Mana is flexing his muscles during Miami Art Week and launching the first Flagler Street Art Festival. The event is a partnership between Mana Common and Urban Impact Lab – and that’s a bit of a misnomer. Yes, street art will play a role in the event, but everyone’s favorite new art medium, non-fungible tokens (NFT), will also be featured. The week-long celebration will unveil 15 new murals commissioned by Mana Public Arts, which will be painted live during the week, as well as the debut of IlluMia, an interactive nightlife experience projected on the facades of buildings along Flagler Street. There will also be workshops centered on NFTs by ArtRepublic. Thursday, Dec. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 5 at 150 E. Flagler St., Miami; flaglerstreetartfestival.com. Admission is free with RSVP via eventbrite.com.
