It's that time of year again, yelpers! And no, we're not just talkin' the holidays. Art Basel Miami Beach's eighth year is finally upon us, so get ready for an artistically-fueled, deliciously-odd rest of the week. Go ahead, call in sick to work, grab your most colorful outfit, and read through this Weekly as we paint you a pretty picture of the days ahead.

Treasured local museums will be dishing out an optical feast in the form of new exhibitions. Whitney R gets her fix of sweet, sweet eye candy at Miami Art Museum, a veritable institution for "innovative and contemporary art." And during Basel, be sure to catch MAM's unveiling of Shepard Fairey's new outdoor public art project! Meanwhile, Elizabeth P is "blown away" by Bass' "thought-provoking and unique" artwork, and you will be too – especially now, since Dzine has decked its halls with a blinged-out mix of street art and Chicano lowrider bike culture. Talk about hot wheels!

Joseluis A and other lovers of emerging visual work will be thrilled to know that Gen Art's Vanguard is setting up shop this year inside Aqua Art Miami in Wynwood for a booth-style fair concurrent with Basel. This is, of course, a very welcome addition to the art warehouse district that already boasts the Margulies Collection, Rubell Family Collection, and Bakehouse Art Complex – all of which will be flaunting their best! BAC will host bac:23 complete with a daily comped breakfast (so much for starving artists), and while you're in the 'wood, peek into Miami Art Space to see Satellite Art + Design's out-of-this-world show.

After taking in the magnificent mélange of fairs including Design Miami, Scope, and Pulse, prepare to party. Paula E admits she's "addicted to the Vagabond... it never gets old!" Be sure to pop in post-Basel to find "adventure lurking around every corner of this club." At the Viceroy, Talisha M feels as if she is in a whimsical "Alice in Wonderland dream," doubly delightful now that Art Viceroy has popped up! And lastly, a little birdie named Adriana D told us on Talk that she's really looking forward to the annual F*CK Art, Let's Dance party at the Electric Pickle. Shake it, yelpers – it's Basel time!

Ana Cristina P. on Lowe Art Museum
"I find it quite sad that I was a UM student for 2 whole years and I never once made it to the LAM, because it's beautiful!

Went there tonight for the Mexican Exhibit Event. Thank you Gita, for extending the invitation to us Yelpers! I'm sad I didn't get to meet you or say hello, but I'm sure there…"

Vanessa P. on ArtCenter / South Florida
"A very cool and very free art gallery/co-op showcasing local talent. Don't get me wrong, museums are great in their own right, but I definitely appreciate modern/off-beat art as well. Every time we're on Lincoln Road we have to make a stop inside and see what's new. Personally that isn't too often,…"

Sebastian E. on Steinbaum Bernice Gallery
"I have to agree with the previous review, not about my mother (or yours) but about Bernice. She really has quite the talent for finding unique and mind provoking artists. As a result her gallery has been around for quite some time. What I also like is her open mind about other events and interested…"
