Read MoreMira Lehr’s powerful journey through art comes full circle for the return of Art Basel Season
The nationally acclaimed artist Mira Lehr, celebrated as “the Godmother of Miami’s Art Scene,” has been selected for several prominent exhibitions, art fairs, events and launches during the eagerly awaited return of Art Basel Season this year in Miami, USA.

But the Florida city looks far different this year. After the coronavirus pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to announce in September that it was canceling this year’s fair, the galaxy of satellite fairs around the city followed suit. Art Basel is typically one of the busiest times for Miami, and the jolt could not have come at a worse time for this tourism-and-hospitality driven city hit hard by COVID-19.
