The Miami Herald is reporting that a newly planned Walmart would force relocation of at least three art fairs. Scope, Red Dot and Art Asia are currently on land that Walmart is planning to build a new location in Wynnwood.
All is fine for the 2012 versions of the fairs, however after this upcoming season they will be looking for a new home.
I think this might also force a few other fairs to think or re-think current locations as well. I could see Art Miami try to find a location near the other three fairs or even try to find a place closer to the Ice Palace where Pulse is now (it previously housed the NADA fair). While Seven would not necessarily be affected by this, I could see them looking at a new location to be able to make things a bit easier for people visiting the fairs. Seven’s location has been well served by the shuttles that ran from Art Miami, Scope, Art Asia and Red Dot.
