Art Basel to Cuba – Pre & Post Trips

What does it mean to be a Cuban artist today? Art Basel – Miami Beach offers some answers but there is a lot more. AC Journeys, a Miami-based, boutique travel consultancy group that specializes in VIP travel to Cuba, is offering two short trips to Cuba, right and after the leading art fair that will take place in Miami Beach next December. Join us for this privileged experience. Itineraries have been carefully curated by art historian and cultural anthropologist Dr. Ariana Hernandez-Reguant, whose research focuses on art, culture, and commerce ties between Cuba and the United States. During the stay, participants will get to meet Cuban artists and gallerists, attend contemporary art openings, visit architectural and monumental sites, and forge connections with the Cuban art world IN CUBA! Join us for this privileged experience!
