Gunnar's gallery for art Basel. It's right on the beach and the time of year is normally very pleasant. This year it was breezy and warm but not hot. Wide variety of artist styles. Basel pieces can be expensive, but the value often lies in the eye of the beholder. Staff were friendly ushering in people. This year I felt they did a great job activating a really fun looking bar space. On preview night, the crowds weren't bad but I expect the traffic to be insane on the weekend as it was last year. read more

This is the only art show I attended during Art Basel and it was amazing. Getting in was easy and it had beautiful art. The main art show at the convention center can be overwhelming with how large it is but this one was on a smaller scale yet it was still as impressive. The only thing I did not like is when we purchased a drink at a nearby bar, the person automatically added her tip. I didn't appreciate this but I didn't want to say anything because I wanted to continue to have a great time. I will definitely try to return to this art show in the future as I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the art and talking to the artist's representation about it. read more

Scope is definitely one of the art Basel tents I don't want to miss. It never disappoints. My friend invited me this year. I love it because it's right on the sands of Miami Beach so you get the art tent with the lovely views of Miami Beach and they have outside seating areas to get fresh air, eat etc. Lots of remarkable art to see this year, I was impressed. And so was my friend she ended up purchasing a beautiful piece of artwork. This is definitely worth checking out if you have the chance. A lovely day was had. read more

Scope delivers an exceptional contemporary art experience that feels both curated and daring. The range of work on display is impressive, from playful, colorful sculptures and clever mixed media pieces to deeply emotional figurative paintings and concept-driven installations. Every room feels thoughtfully arranged, allowing very different styles and ideas to coexist without feeling chaotic. I loved how some works invite curiosity and humor, while others encourage you to slow down and reflect. The space itself is clean, spacious, and easy to navigate, making it enjoyable whether you're an experienced collector or simply exploring. read more

There is plenty of artwork to see and so many people there to share the experience with. The artist are there so you get a chance to talk with them about their artwork as well. It was a great experience and recommend checking it out. read more

For me, this was my favorite gallery. It was different from the other ones. As you first walk in it had this big beautiful colorful structure that changed color the Artrepublic Global. It truly made an impression. This contemporary gallery had something else that most of the other ones did not. It had music playing, good music. It had a good vibe. The crowd was different and the artwork was beautiful. I enjoyed what I saw. . The vendors were all very friendly and approachable. They seem eager to explain the art. The Norwegian Cruise Line was giving away samples of drinks. That was nice. I saw 2 two sitting areas. One of them was interesting I think it was decorated all in white with white furniture. It was futuristic looking. On the walls are pictures of what I would describe as aliens and cyber things. It was cool. They had a section outside closed out. It was the Scope Walls. This area had something like a nice light show projected on a wall. I don't know how else to describe it. It was shapes and colors. It was beautiful and the music was excellent. I would come back to this place again. It was a fun gallery read more

An absolute must see during Art Basel. Try to attend the VIP party as well. Scope is an awesome indoor/outdoor venue located right on the beach. There are ample bar stations, clean restrooms and a DJ playing music all night long. Only downside is exhibition hours end at 8pm which seems a bit early, it would be a fun experience to walk around later than that... Regardless, had a blast checking out all the diverse contemporary art! read more

If art is your thing, or even if it isn't, Scope is a very cool exhibit - part of Art Basel. This is a show of modern art. Everything is extremely contemporary. So much to see and definitely something for everyone's taste. Buying art may be a different story. Prices are high and there was nothing that was inexpensive. Another great part of the show is people watching. The outfits that you see at the show are definitely not the sort of things that you will see at the supermarket. Colorful and definitely eccentric. Parking can be a bit of a trick. Either you can park at the convention center and take the shuttle to Scope (which is in a huge tent on the Beach by 8th street.) There are also numerous public lots within a 7-8 block radius. When the weather is great, the walk is wonderful. Definitely check it out next year. Just another perk of living in South Florida. read more

Scope seems to me the more luxe of the Miami Art Week / Art Basel fairs. For one, even the General Admission this year was $40. But for what you'll spend in one of the tourist trap restaurants across Ocean Drive on this drink, the art work here at Scope will trip you out even better. Oh, and this gallery is ON. THE. SAND..like on the actual beach. That alone is worth the price of admission! One of my favorite Asian restaurants, Shokudo, was handling the catering. Other than a glass of Merlot, I didn't partake but it did serve as a reminder that I need to take a trip back. The works I saw ran the gamut from high end commercial pieces, like the new Porsche exhibit, to works modern or irreverent. Case in point was the one of I photographed of a typical Miami art night :) Scope is definitely on my must visit every Art Basel. read more

This was my first time at SCOPE and thanks to Yelp Miami for hooking it up cause I've been wanting to go for years :) Last night's VIP kickoff event was nothing less than spectacular! Let's start with the venue. It's right on the beach! As we checked in, a big colorful sculpture captured our eyes and right behind it was the gorgeous ocean backdrop. Then we entered the main tent which consisted of multiple sections and divided by 4 halls. Wow, there was so much to look at from cartoons inspired works, whimsical pieces to dark and industrial installations and sculptures. The artists that we met were very friendly too. They didn't mind explaining their work and what inspired them to create such masterpieces. I really liked the Gorilla in a Too Too, Laurina Paperina's artworks at Martina's gallery, and this Chicago inspired piece made with hand-blown glass called Paradigm Shift (which I really thought it was metal). Even if you're not into art, I can guarantee that the displays here will inspire anyone and maybe even turn you into a critic..lol In addition, Bombay Sapphire was one of the sponsors and they provided plenty of libations throughout the evening. Their staff worked very hard to keep everyone hydrated with Tom Collins and Moscow Mules. They have a dedicated section towards the back of the tent near the Porsche lounge. Yes, Porsche also had their own spacious section featuring the up and coming all electric Taycan on display. Thank you again Yelp Miami for this experience. SCOPE is definitely a must see during Art Basel. read more

Was very nice. I didn't enjoy much the art related to the Art Basel because everything was pop art and I'm not a fan. But the place was nice, very I'm nice indeed. read more

Being that I have never been to an Art Basel event, Scope was definitely a great introduction! I want to say thank you Diandra and Yelp MIami for the opportunity to attend the preview party and have access to the exhibition for its entirety. Beautifully located on the beach, this gigantic tent is really impressive. As soon as you walk in you hit with color! Lots of it! From the color strands hanging above you to the rainbow colored slot machine. It was all just so beautiful. There was an amazing Chicago based artist by the name of Joseph Ivacic aka paradigm shift, that had amazing pieces that were surprisingly made of glass! He was definitely one of my favorites from that evening. My other favorite was Okuda San Miguel! The colors were amazing!! Thanks to Bombay for the complimentary cocktails! They were strong!! Lol! Overall, I loved the place! It was really great! read more

Easily my favorite of all the big fairs during Miami art week/ Miami art Basel. featuring a lot of emerging and established artists that are creative new, experimental, and exciting work. Another plus is that you can find pieces that are under 2k and in some cases under 1k depending on the gallery. pro tip.. to avoid congestion and crowds go early... my preferred day is on the Sunday as that's the last day of the fair so its not as many people. read more

I went into scope yesterday through tickets provided by yelp and LOVED it. It was spacious with so much art that was just a feast for the eyes. Well organized and very spacious. My friends and I loved it. Loved the overall vibe and art pieces. I wasn't able to track who did each art piece. But wow was mind blown by some pieces. Definitely a must in Art Basel week. Located on ocean drive. Perfect for an outing with friends family or a date even. read more

I've visited Scope for the past four years during Art Basel! It gets better and better every year. Sometimes I recognize an art piece or two from the previous year but overall, I'm always welcomed with new art pieces I've never seen before. Scope is HUGE. I regularly spend at least two hours walking around looking at art. The layout can get a bit overwhelming as nothing is lined up but more as a maze. I like to make sure I've seen everything so sometimes I find myself going in circles...but it's all so worth it. Scope is right in the heart of Miami Beach so I always enjoy the tent and then grab a bite to eat with friends after somewhere on the strip. I recommend making a day out of it because a lot of the local hotels display free art as well inside their lobbies. read more

Scope has a reputation for gathering galleries worldwide that represent some of the most innovative talent in pop and contemporary themes. If you come to Miami Art Week you will want to make sure you visit Scope. If you are fortunate enough, I recommend attending the VIP viewing which is typically the Wednesday of Miami Art Week. There will be less crowds yet more knowledgeable art patrons. read more

What an amazing experience! I will be attending this every year from here on out. I love that this exhibit lets Miami artist and artiest all over the country/world show their work and express themselves. Surprisingly, the event wasn't uncomfortably packed, cafe's and drink stations all around. The Porsche lounge was a nice touch, Porsche car service would take you to the Loews hotel and Art Basel at the convention center. Parking as easily accessible on the street. Was able to get my picture painted on a ice cream cone by a painter from LA, Cali. Drinks were reasonably priced and had great variety of drinks. Totally recommend this to anyone from Miami or if you are visiting. Kids are welcomed, BTW. read more

Hands done my favorite art fair during Basel. I've been coming every year for years and I'm never disappointed by the international artists that the fair draws. Depending on the sponsor then certain years are more memorable like 2018 which was sponsored by Bombay Sapphire. read more

This was the best show I have seen during Art Basel. I think overall it was well organized, well laid out and I liked the variety of galleries. There was everything. It was so much better than art miami, and really.. art basel its self always disapoints me so I didn't even go this year. This had some crazy ridiculous stuff, but that what made it fun. It was amusing, now did they sell anything?? I don't know, but I some of the items here were mucho cheaper than art miami right across the street. Really though for 30K i do'nt care how awesome it is- Its not a bargain if you aren't driving away in it. Alright- next year. Put this on your list. read more

Scope - Art Galleries Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Scope should be on everyone's Basel checklist. Consistently one of the best fairs of the week Scope showcases a mix of talents and from across the US and the globe. This year was no different many of the galleries showing had pieces that stood out from the rest of the other fairs. Several of the pieces stood out for using technology and light. Even better than all that was the amount of artists on hand and gladly explaining their work. Standouts for me were from New Orleans, Germany, and Japan (I'll add gallery names asap) If you're visiting Scope give yourself at least 2 hours. Also remember to cross into Art Asia which is a fair within a fair and for that tack on at least 40 additional minutes. This year the fair had the Rums of Puerto Rico lounge and some of the tastiest cocktails in town and provided some amazingly talented entertainment for example Nestor Torres breaking it down Caribbean jazz style. read more

This is the first Art Basel show I've gone to so far, so to reflect on it as "the best," would be premature. What I can say, however, is that your mind should prepare to be boggled by the most diverse pieces of art. In one particular exhibit, there was a video piece with a young lumberjack dressed in the style of a 70s tennis player (white shorts, tube socks, etc). He's chopping wood. Then, it's hard to miss, but this same young feller is in physical form, with a log strapped to his back as though it were a backpack, and he's walking on a treadmill. What?! Why?! Gotta love it. Another piece that stood out was Mindy Linkous' massive Jackson 5 portrait. A master at fine art, I learned that she painted with actual gold and the touch of color proves jackpot. Loved the Taco stand installation piece. It had me fooled that tacos were in my near future. Or maybe this was actually a stand with abuelita taking a bathroom break? Art's confusing. Don't miss the The Amazing Ultran. Reminiscent of the fortune teller in the movie Big, performer/artist David Rohn seats himself within a constructed fortune teller booth and operates as though he were machinery. Robotic movements and all, it's eerie to say the least! Give him a dollar and he'll write your destiny. Overall, an abundance of contemporary eye candy. Don't miss it! read more

Set on Miami Beach across from Ocean Drive, Scope never seems to disappoint from the exhibits, lounge areas and the fashionable people that attend. If you're a Miami Beach resident you receive a discount. There is a hard walking path for the ladies in heels but be mindful it's not as solid as you may think. The exhibition of taken the time to observe and appreciate the artists will take between 2 to 3 hours unless you speed through some galleries. There is always an outside lounge to hang out in and a small inside lounge with a little food stand to grab a snacks. They serve cocktails and drinks which is crazy to see people walk around with drinks in their hands around the wonderful art. Of course there's good bad and questionable art but that's all the fun in it! You are sure to become an art critic yourself once you give yourself an opportunity to be a part of Art Basel! read more

Clearly, art is subjective. For what it's worth, this humble art-viewer (and sometimes collector) LOVED SCOPE! In addition to the intriguing installations and pieces, the people watching was the best. Keep your camera out and at the ready to capture those artsy hipsters ogling crocheted abodes with live models in crocheted (of course) body suits, Frankenstein-like taxidermy, and large-scale photography (including my personal favorite, a distressed bird photograph by a German photographer who alters his work with urine and sausages.) Yup, you read that right! read more

By Far Best Fair during Basel. Describing it as the younger, hipper, weirder brother of Basel proper is the most fitting. With a more diverse group of artist and galleries, Scope has art that makes you gasp, laugh, go "What?". Personally my favorite piece was bags of rice that had chapters of books written on the grains of rice. The bags were screened with old library check out cards, which told you which book it was. Basel is completely overwhelming, and it feels intimidating even when you know a lot about art. But at scope the art neophyte can rub arms with the connoisseur. And you can stop by Art Asia for buying one ticket. Scope is a must every year! read more

This was a fun experience, I just wish I would have gone on the first day. I'm looking forward for to going again.

If you're at Art Basel Miami then make sure to make time to go to Scope. This is the largest selection of Pop, Surreal, urban and just different art you won't find in the basic art gallery. While inside enjoy some free drinks from all the sponsors! read more

Scope is really good, but just a nudge under Art Miami this year. It always has the most boundary pushing Art at in my opinion, but not the conceptual type. Always a must attend event. I might have seen a Banksy display out in front of it one night this year. Not sure though because it was unsigned... read more

Hands down the best of the Art Basel shows of 2010. Parked outside is a convertible wearing a pink, knit sweater from rear view mirror to tires. You walk in to be greeted by a two-sided slide and a face painted on a mirrored sphere. They were peculiar, totally original, and set the tone for the whole event. Scope didn't play it safe, and there were moments where the art crashed and burned, but that just made the successes that much greater. Scope also had the best of the fair food. Roberta's (imported from Brooklyn) was the paired perfectly with the mood of this fair. I loved my corn cakes with super spicy salsa and veggies. WAY better than the soggy sandwiches and fruit plates the other fairs had to offer! read more

Amazing art fair...the best one hands down

I review art for a prominent magazine and also collect. All the art fairs have lots of hype but, this year Scope-Miami was AMAZING! the VH1 party was off the hook. If you are interested in Art and looking to either start of build a collection with emerging artist at great prices this is the art fair not to be missed. read more

First time in Art Basel and I am really impressed with the modern art in south florida......David Rosenbloom is a fantastic visual artist
