As Miami safely welcomes back residents and visitors for Miami Art Week 2020, here are some recommendations of places to Dine, Drink, Play and Stay – including ARTECHOUSE, Freehand, The Miami Beach EDITION, The Standard, Miami Beach and others.
SEE:
ARTECHOUSE
Tickets here
ARTECHOUSE, the nation’s first innovative art space dedicated to digital and experiential art with multiple locations in Washington, DC, New York and Miami, presents Aqueous, an immersive multimedia installation inspired by Pantone Color of the Year 2020 Classic Blue at its Miami location in South Beach.
Miami’s Aqueous, inspired by Classic Blue’s calming qualities, explores the color and its connection with water. Whether looking out at the vast horizon of the ocean or listening to raindrops fall, our water-filled surroundings instill a sense of peace and relaxation. This multimedia installation, spread across two floors, seeks to similarly soothe the spirit by submerging visitors into an abstract exploration of liquid — its textures, movements, sounds, sensations and relationship with light. Visitors are plunged into a water-filled world where the outside world melts away and they are enveloped with water’s rhythmic fluidity, inspired to create digital bioluminescence and contemplate the effect of Classic Blue on their personal journey.
Acqueous is open Thursday-Monday starting at 2pm in 30min time slots.

THE WEBSTER
Miami Beach – 1220 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, FL 33139
305-674-7899
Laure Heriard Dubreuil opened The Webster’s flagship location in 2009 at 1220 Collins Avenue in South Beach, Miami. Originally the Webster Hotel, the 20,000 square-foot Art Deco building was built in 1939 by architect Henry Hohauser. Heriard Dubreuil, who grew up in Paris and worked as a top merchandiser for Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent before founding The Webster, kept the name but reimagined the three-story interior as a women’s and men’s multi-brand luxury retailer designed with vibrant intimacy to resemble a residential space. A decade after the Miami flagship opened, The Webster has expanded to six additional flagship locations in Bal Harbour, Houston, Costa Mesa, New York City, and Los Angeles, most recently Montecito at the Rosewood Miramar Beach as well as an outlet at Sawgrass Mills. Each store has its own distinctive energy, unified by Heriard Dubreuil’s uncompromising vision of good energy, good fashion, good fun, and Miami’s sunny spirit. The retailer has become a destination for exclusive collaborations with brands such as Paco Rabanne, Off-White, and Fenty and permanent partnerships with David Mallett and Joanna Czech, who operate studios out of The Webster’s SoHo location.
