Art Basel Miami Beach is one of the most important art show in the United States, and “a cultural and social highlight for the Americas.” It is the sister event of Switzerland’s Art Basel. Art Basel Miami Beach combines an international selection of top galleries with an exciting program of special exhibitions, parties and crossover events with music, film, architecture and design. Exhibition sites are located in the city’s Art Deco District, walking distance of the beach and many hotels.

“The exhibiting galleries are among the world’s most respected art dealers, offering exceptional pieces by both renowned artists and cutting-edge newcomers,” states the event’s website. “Special exhibition sections feature young galleries, performance art, public art projects and video art. The show will be a vital source for art lovers, allowing them to both discover new developments in contemporary art and experience rare museum-calibre artworks.”

Despite the current economic woes, we still have so many things to be thankful for. The food on our tables, the clothes on our backs, and the wonderful organizations such as Saint Vincent de Paul who are devoted to helping those who are not so lucky. As a way of saying “thanks” and “giving” back to this organization, Ninthlink Cause showed its gratitude during this holiday season by choosing Saint Vincent de Paul as the November cause.

Prithvi Virasinghe and Analisa Tamayo from MTV will be presenting.
