As the world's art scene descends upon the Florida hot-spot, L'OFFICIEL breaks down where to go and what to see.&nbsp;

Huzzah, Art Basel Miami will make its first in-person return since 2019, marking nearly two years without the storied affair. Since its launch in 2002, Art Basel Miami has become North America's premier art fair and, subsequently, the most anticipated social event of Florida's fall calendar. In celebration of the event's return, the organizers have graciously extended their calendar, moving the VIP and press back one day to allow more time for public access to the nearly 253 galleries from across the globe, with works curated by the industry's top curators and museums.&nbsp;
Dust off your sandals, grab a checklist or two, and get ready for complete submersion.&nbsp;
What are Art Basel and Miami Art Week?&nbsp;
Art Basel Miami is the North American installment of the global Basel art fair series, which hops from Basel, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Miami. The week is a major draw for collectors, curators, artists, and galleries&mdash;along with hundreds of celebrities, parties, and satellite art fairs. The week itself has since transitioned into "Miami Art Week."&nbsp;
Art Basel comprises five sectors of art. Galleries (which represent artist like agents) showcase their inventory in carefully curated booths within the fairs themselves, Edition which covers reprints and editioned pieces of art, Nova which covers art created in the past three years, Positions which showcases emerging artists new to the scene, and Survey which highlights works created before 2000.&nbsp;
