WHO:
BACARDÍ and The Dean Collection present No Commission: Miami from December 6 – 7, 2018

WHAT:
The Dean Collection and BACARDÍ present No Commission: Miami 2018, a two-day, art and music fair taking place December 6 – 7, 2018, at Faena Forum in Miami Beach. No Commission was created by BACARDÍ and The Dean Collection to forge a direct link between art and art patronage. No Commission is designed specifically to support artists in different territories around the world.

No Commission: Miami 2018 is themed, “Take the Shot,” which will focus primarily on the medium of photography. As visual communication dominates, picture taking has eclipsed other expressive forms of content capture as an important tool of contemporary storytelling, heightened further by social media. No Commission 2018 examines photography in the digital age by highlighting practitioners who have emerged as compelling narrators of our time.

This year, No Commission invited photographers from around the country to submit their work for consideration. Of those who submitted, a select group of emerging artists and their work have been chosen to showcase at “Take the Shot” come December.

The injection of immersive music performances from collaborator BACARDÍ shakes up the traditional art fair, creating a unique cultural experience for visitors. While we can’t share names yet for the upcoming iteration, past performers have included Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled, A$AP Rocky, Cardi B, Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Pusha T and more.

No Commission Miami is the seventh in a series of artist support collaborations. Past editions were held in Miami, New York, London, Shanghai and Berlin where artworks were sold and artists retained 100% of sales proceeds. The No Commission platform is realized through a partnership between BACARDÍ, Swizz Beatz, and The Dean Collection in their continued support of cultural visionaries around the world.

About Eric Ginsburg: Fridge Art Fair Founder and Artist Eric Ginsburg, ( http://www.worldoferic.com ), is best known for his unique and whimsical dog and cat portraits which consist of soulful and painterly qualities.

About Blue Moon Hotel: Located in the heart of Miami’s Art Deco District, Blue Moon Hotel is housed in a Mediterranean Revival building on Collins Avenue.

Merv Griffin, the late entertainer and hotelier, once owned the hotel and gave the hotel its name after the song “Blue Moon” written by Rodgers and Hart. (Griffin was always particularly fond of the tune.) The hotel is an affiliate of Marriott’s Autograph Collection and is a proud member of HHM’s Independent Collection.

Fridge Art Fair Miami
Nov 27 to Dec 4, 2016, open 24 hours
Betsy Hotel Underground Gallery
1440 Ocean Drive
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Website

Four years ago NY-based artist Eric Ginsburg, known for expressionism focused on animals, had an idea to create an art fair during New York’s Frieze week that was different from the others. His goal was to create an intimate space for art and art lovers. When asked if he was planning on putting on a Fridge During Art Week in Miami right after the inaugural Fridge Art Fair ended, the answer was ‘Why not?’! Hence Fridge Art Fair during Art Basel was born!

Fridge is an art fair with a heart and passion. It’s been called everything from Raw to a boutique fair. In Eric’s words, ‘This year we’re proud to present artists whose work is authentic and personal, with messages for everyone.’ As in past fairs (with this being the 4th) the question posed to artists who participate is always “Can you fit it into the Fridge?”

Fridge Fair at Art Basel Miami Beach 2016 will take place at The Betsy Hotel with an amended title of “A Curated Mini Fridge”, indicating the (even) smaller space used to exhibit and celebrate. The Betsy Hotel (thebetsyhotel.com) is a four star-four diamond hotel in the luxury boutique space with a unique commitment to philanthropy, arts, culture, and education. Partnering with Fridge Fair aligns perfectly with The Betsy’s mission.

The public is cordially invited to The Betsy Hotel Presents “A Curated Mini Fridge” in the Underground Gallery, located behind the front desk, and down the stairs. The work is for sale and the gallery space is open 24/7. For more information contact artsandculture@thebetsyhotel. com or info@fridgeartfair.com

Art Basel stages the world’s premier art shows for Modern and contemporary works, sited in Basel, Miami Beach and Hong Kong. Defined by its host city and region, each show is unique, which is reflected in its participating galleries, artworks presented, and the content of parallel programming produced in collaboration with local institutions for each edition. In addition to ambitious stands featuring leading galleries from around the globe, each show’s singular exhibition sectors spotlight the latest developments in the visual arts, offering visitors new ideas and new inspiration.

Exhibitors will present works of art – from historically significant projects and film, to painting, photography and largescale sculpture – by Modern and contemporary artists. With a reapplication rate of 98% for the Galleries sector and in addition to a strong selection of returning exhibitors, the show features 21 galleries who are completely new to the Miami Beach edition, including 12 first-time entrants to the Galleries sector.

2016 marks the fifteenth edition of the Miami Beach show, which has expanded over the years to include dedicated sections for film, outdoor sculpture, works in edition and curated shows of historical significance.
