Had enough of Miami yet? With 20 different art fairs featuring boggling number of dealers, there’s enough to keep collectors busy for days. Mainstays like Art Basel and SCOPE are back, along with relative newcomers like NADA and Untitled. But the fairs aren’t the only way to see art in this tropical destination—Miami’s local galleries are pulling out all the stops this week. Our guide has got you covered across the board, from fair picks to museum exhibitions.

Let’s start with the galleries: head to Gregg Shienbaum Fine Art to see an impressive selection of original Keith Haring paintings, drawings, and prints—including rare, stunning pieces on triangular aluminum. Rimonim Art Gallery presents the group show “From Venice to Miami,” featuring five artists from around the world who participated in this year’s Venice Biennale, so now’s your chance to catch up if you didn’t make it to Venice this year. If you’re a night owl, Avant Gallery’s decidedly epic “The Epic Show” is open late throughout the week, with new work from urban artists like DAIN, Alec Monopoly, Becky Rosa, Skyler Grey, and more.

Be sure you set aside enough time to thoroughly explore SCOPE Miami Beach, and when you do, don’t miss LaCa Projects’ booth of Juan Dolhare’s surreal, melancholic paintings, and ClampArt’s presentation of experimental photography by Adam Ekberg and other young artists. Art Basel has more excellent booths than we can count, but we particularly like Esther Schipper’s installation of fuchsia, helium-filled balloons by Philippe Pareno.

Lastly, stop by the Rubell Family Collection for “NO MAN’S LAND,” a survey of the woman artists in the museum’s collection, including heavy-hitters like Isa Genzken, Rineke Djikstra, Tauba Auerbach, Dana Schutz, and plenty more.

Slather on some sunscreen, and get art hopping. The beach can wait.
