Navigating Art Basel Invites December

The 5 best bets for Art Basel 2010 – Thursday

We know: You’re on Art Basel invite overdrive. To help you navigate your way through all the mess, we’ve sorted our inbox to find 5 do-not-miss events we’re hitting up today (including our own).

1) Starbucks with your art? Now that’s a good afternoon. Get your caffeine fix and mingle with artists during the contemporary exhibit, Art+Culture Editions. It takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the rooftop of the Gansevoort Miami Beach Hotel. (2377 Collins Ave.)

2) Since movies are best enjoyed in the comforts of home, make your way to the swank Fendi Casa showroom for an exclusive cocktail and viewing party. The Director & Artist Collaboration soirée will feature debuts from various filmmakers from 6-9 p.m. RSVP to Fendi@taraink.com (90 NE 39th St.)

3) From 7 p.m. (‘til the wee hours of the morning–5 a.m.), join Artists Wanted at Charcoal Studios for SCOPE Miami 2010–a lively Night Event celebration. Divas receive free admission with your RSVP. (60 NW 22nd St.)

4) Shake your Aquabooty like a Pink Snail during the 8th annual unsanctioned Art Basel masterpiece: F•ck Art, Let’s Dance. Beginning at 9 p.m., The Electric Pickle Co. cocktail lounge and music emporium joins forces with Miami’s best deep dance party DJs. Get down, diva. (2826 N Miami Ave.)

5) Most importantly, be there from 6-9 p.m. when Social Diva does Art Basel with designer Duncan Quinn–part deux. There’ll be Ducati, gin, motorcycles and duncan quinn’s chic winter collection…which means plenty of opps to get your flirt on with the opposite sex. RSVP required. (4040 NE 2nd Ave., Moore Building, #102)

All you need is transportation–and we want you to get around in style. Roam Vespa scooter rentals come with delivery and pickup…and a complimentary tank of gas. Consider it yours for the weekend for $300.
