When contacting Design Miami for press credentials I admitted a “fear of design.” The nice woman who responded took this to be a “fear of art.” I responded , “No, I just fear design….art isn’t scary to me.” But I would like to suggest that you really shouldn’t be frightened of design or Design Miami either.
In fact, for most people, design is something more easy to appreciate than fine art; it is functional and decorative but, necessarily, has to have the attributes of fine art to be successful.
When wandering around looking at art and choosing fairs and functions to attend to do not pass up Design Miami.
