Again Art Travel Guide focuses on the ever-expanding roster of shows on view in Miami in early December. With so many shows to cover, we thought it best to focus on just one for this issue. Design Miami, now in its third year, focuses strictly on contemporary trends in international design. This concentration distinguishes Design Miami from all other shows happening concurrently this year in Miami.

Design Miami was launched to provide a new type of commercial and cultural format to bring together today's most significant high-end designers, dealers, collectors, curators and critics in one place. Taking advantage of the phenomenal draw of Art Basel Miami Beach and all of the other fairs it has spawned, Design Miami quickly established itself as an uniqely important fair in Miami. Beacuse of this success, Design Miami/Basel was launched in 2006 to coincide with Art Basel in June. Below are some of the events sponsored by Design Miami this year:

Design Talks: Free to the Public, December 7 - 9, 5:30 - 6:30pm
