Just for fun, we examined the square footage available for art during Miami Art Week at the art fairs (including Art Basel Miami Beach) and the Miami art community in general. While the amount of space available for exhibiting art doesn't indicate the quality and importance of what's exhibited on the walls or installed on the floors, racking up square footage for art allows a lot of art to be seen.
