So much is happening at the Lord Balfour Hotel in Miami Beach this winter when it comes to art and design. The WORD Art exhibit, curated by Pinkbastard, features 10 artists you will grow to love and that’s in addition to Irish street artist fin DAC who will also be in the building, affording visitors a unique peak into the craft he calls, “Urban Aesthetics.”

The Royal Guard. Grateful to communicate with the ancestors. Could not create without the love of them and the Creator for me.

Artist : Tayo Olayode
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-Artist: Fashion Designer and Super Creator Kesh
We love this girl, and not just because we bought every piece from her collaborative collection with American Apparel. Like, she really is an artist and we dig that. So what can you expect at this KESH show? The “next chapter of her work, PROJECT KITT,” which explores the mainstream’s obsession with worship a la mass media etc. W@WW will see 10 large scale pieces and a series of video installations created and produced by the fashion darling, and in the spirit of exclusivity, this show is one-night only, folks, so catch KESH while you can.

Artist: Two-time Grammy award-winning Director/Producer/Photographer Kristian Schmidt
While this is strictly invitation only, if you can get into this exclusive affair you’ll be privy to limited edition photos from Kristian’s Whale Shark Series that are beautifully outrageous as they are daunting. Who loves him? Everyone from Leo DiCaprio, Kanye West to Sir Richard Branson.

Artists: Heartsrevolution
Music meets art in an ice cream pop-up shop truck. We love it! Why? Because they’re selling everything from toys to Japanese candy and limited edition shit everyone loves. But the core messaging is brilliant, to inspire kids to think outside the “box.” Catch’em as they tour through Miami Beach during Art Basel, or you can wait until spring 2014, when they go back on tour with the truck for the release of their debut album, delivered in partnership by Skrillex’s OWSLA and Kitsuné.
