Curator’s statement
Miami Beach isn't your average beach escape. It's a vibrant collision of cultures, where Art Deco architecture meets sizzling nightlife and world-class dining. During the day, soak up the sun on pristine sands and turquoise waters. By night, savor a culinary scene as diverse as it is delicious, then dance the night away, as DJ's keep the party going all night. This city ignites all your senses — it's Miami Beach, and it's unlike anywhere else. Miami is on fire and keeps me coming back year after year!
