Miami Beach

The town twinning agreement between Basel and Miami Beach, which has been in place since 2011, is all about culture. The aim of the twinning is to strengthen the position of the Art Basel art fair in Miami Beach.

History of the partnership

Basel and Miami Beach have maintained a close relationship for many years. After the Art Basel Miami Beach took place for the first time in 2002, a regular exchange has been established between the two cities. The Art Basel Miami Beach celebrated its ten years anniversary in December 2011. On this occasion, the partnership between these two art-loving cities was officially sealed by a town twinning agreement. The purpose of the agreement is to improve the market positioning of Art Basel in Miami Beach.

Memorandum of Understanding

In 2011, the then mayor of Miami Beach, Matti Herrera Bower, visited the 42nd edition of Art Basel in Basel and signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the City Hall. A few months later, the agreement was then countersigned at the opening of the Art Basel in Miami Beach.
