Monday, November 29, Coconut Grove will put it's best art foot forward with a special Gallery Walk night in honor of the start of Art Basel week in Miami. Representatives from all the art galleries in the Grove have been working together with the BID, to bring the special night to fruition.
Mayfair is ground zero, where large two-ton sculptures by artist John Angee, will greet guests at the Atrium. The famous bull sculpture will be moved for the night, so that six large "archway" style sculptures may take over the space.
They are stainless steel and forged metal.
From 7 to 10 pm, guests will be shuttled around the Grove for the night in trolleys, sponsored by Mayfair. Each gallery, as they do on Gallery Walk nights (the first Saturday of each month), will present something special to art lovers and buyers from around the world.
Restaurants and other businesses will offer specials to the guests. There will be music throughout the Grove and lots of festivities and art to usher in the winter and arts season.
An after party will take place at the Mayfair Atrium from 9 to 11, where guests will be wined and dined after being shown an evening of what makes Coconut Grove the original arts center of Miami. Everyone is welcome, hopefully Grovites will come out and enjoy the evening, too.
Shuttle buses are being used to bring in guests from South Beach, Brickell and other areas, and of course they will return the guests to their respective hotels at the end of the evening.
