Miami Art Week provides more than just gallery exhibitions; it offers a fusion of gastronomy, visual art, and high-end entertainment. Several venues are hosting special events that turn dining into an immersive cultural experience, combining innovative menus with live music, art installations, and collaborative dinners.
Exclusive Dining and Artistic Collaborations
Restaurants across Miami are leveraging the cultural week to present unique, limited-time experiences that blend culinary artistry with visual design.
- On Friday, December 5, The Gates Hotel South Beach is hosting “Peace of New York,” an extraordinary Clique Dinner experience celebrating the culture and cuisine of New York. The immersive evening features a multi-course meal with wine pairings curated by Chef Pierre Serrão (“Chef P”), a co-founder of the culinary collective Ghetto Gastro. The event includes a live performance by Brooklyn singer Nali, a digital art showcase from Ja Rule’s Web3 studio, Black is Beautiful, and an open bar featuring his Amber & Opal brand. Tickets for the event include a curated gift bag and a meet-and-greet opportunity with Chef P.
- CLAUDIE, a restaurant concept by Riviera Dining Group, is blending dining and art from December 1 through the 7th. The venue will feature two distinct artistic displays: evocative works by Anna Master in the main dining area (in partnership with Bartoux Gallery) and impressive photography by Frédéric Pinet in the private dining room. Both exhibitions will be celebrated with exclusive cocktail receptions featuring appetizers and drinks for invited guests. To create a fully immersive atmosphere, the restaurant is also offering a signature cocktail inspired by Anna Master’s artwork.
Culinary Venues with Live Entertainment
Several acclaimed dining establishments are enhancing their atmosphere with live music and sophisticated performances throughout the week.
- Delilah Miami, an upscale supper club known for its 1920s glamour and sophisticated cuisine, is increasing its entertainment lineup during Art Week with a series of unannounced celebrity performances. The venue, led by Chef Mitchell Hesse and featuring Latin-inspired flavors alongside signature dishes, is characterized by its stylish interiors with gold, teal, and light pink tones. Following the week’s festivities, the club will launch its inaugural weekly Sunday Jazz Night on December 7, featuring soulful live music in its intimate, glamorous setting.
- The Betsy Hotel on South Beach is celebrating the week with its longest-running Jazz Series at The Piano Bar, featuring daily, free performances by numerous musicians from December 1 through the 7th. Adjacent to the performances is LT South Beach, a casually elegant New American restaurant directed by award-winning Chef Laurent Tourondel. The menu features international influences and quality ingredients like prime steak and fresh seafood. Guests can enjoy the dining room, which offers a prime view of the nightly live jazz and Latin rhythms, or opt for the outdoor terrace overlooking Ocean Drive.
