Five Best Second Saturday Art Walk Parties

Mona Lemmy sez, "Fuck Art Walk! Let's art rock!"

Art is cool.

But the coolest part is the free booze and tiny extravagant hors d'oeuvres.

Remember that Basel week when the punks raided a truckload of Campari and then drank it all in the parking lot next to The Stage?

Well, this weekend's gallery get-togethers might not yield any moments that epic. But there'll still be nice pictures, complimentary drinks, gratis grub, cool people, and killer music.

Here are Crossfade's five best art parties during this weekend's Second Saturday Art Walk.



The Wynwood Squat Launch Party. Saturday, October 13. Wynwood Squat, 120 NW 25th St., Miami. The party starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 11. Visit wynwoodsquat.com. Fashion? Art?! Music?!? In that order?! Goodness gracious, I do believe we have located the Platonic form of art parties. Did we mention: "30 young brands of fashion and art, specialty cocktails and bites, sounds by DJ I.A.N." And, of course, "art and video installations."



Crossfit 305 & A1A Pre-Nutrition Happy Hour Challenge. With Stokeswood. Saturday, October 13. The Stage, 170 NE 38th St., Miami. The party starts at 8 p.m. and ends at 2 a.m. Email office@crossfit305.com to get on the list. Think of this lil' soiree as the nightlife equivalent to high school football parties. Only instead of carbing out on garlic rolls, you're slurping hooch out of a stranger's bellybutton, all in the name of fitness! The Facebook RSVP also touts the open-air patio as an alternative to being crammed in a closet with, like, a million tiki torches burning.
