Art Circuits Miami

Art Circuits Miami is a free art guide about the Miami art scene, available in both digital and printed formats. Founded in Miami in 2003 by its publisher Liana Perez, the guide includes four monthly newsletters that are sent out to subscribers announcing the openings in art gallery circuits throughout Miami's neighborhoods. The guide also informs readers on upcoming museum and performing arts events. Art Circuits prints two collectible editions per year, which are distributed in art galleries, museums, private collections, hotels, and at Art Basel, one of the largest art shows in the world, held every December in Miami Beach.

The updated maps of the art hubs spread throughout the county, as well as a specific map of the more than 20 satellite art fairs that open in Miami Beach near Art Basel and in Wynwood Arts District/Midtown every first week of December, are an important feature of the guide. The satellite art map includes internationally-known art shows such as Art Miami, Design Miami, NADA, scope, and Pulse. Local art fairs, like Sculpt and Little Sister, are also included.

Elisa Turner is Art Circuits’ art critic since 2008, when Art Circuits evolved from a monthly to a quarterly guide and launched its website (www.artcircuits.com). Her column, ArtCentric, discusses artists, museums, collections and trends of Miami. For 12 years, Turner was the primary art critic of the Miami Herald. Michael Spring, director of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, said of Turner, "Elisa's discerning eye can capture a trend before it surfaces, can reveal the fascinating idiosyncrasies of personalities that shape an arts community....This almost magical talent is attributable to her unrelenting curiosity and her sensitivity to and fascination for the remarkable diversity of people, traditions and forces that are shaping Miami's adventures in the visual arts."

In January 2010, Art Circuits added a Critic’s Choice section and a blog to its website, also written by Elisa Turner. Critic’s Choice presents exhibits throughout the different art circuits. The section rotates with a blog, called ArtCentric, of artwork images

Collage artist and social photographer Erika King started her art stars column in Art Circuits in 2009. She collects art celebrities’ snapshots in an online album on the Art Circuits website, called Art Stars.
