Miami has worn many tags(标签) through the past art was never high on the ，in 2002，Art Basel made Miami Beach its American home，bringing with it an international scene of lots of art dealers，collectors，critics and art art fair lasts less than a week a year but it is one of the biggest in the world.

“Art Basel gave Miami the power to believe in itself，and that's always a problem with regional(地方*的) art places，”said Mera Rubell，a Miami collector who，along with her husband，Don，owns the Rubell Family Collection.“The influence that it has all year round is really quite great.”

Art Basel has little to do with local galleries(美术馆)．Just 3 of the 260 galleries invited this year are from Miami，and only a handful of local artists are showing in the fair，which begins on Thursday.

But since Art Basel started 10 years ago，dozens of new galleries have opened，and scores of artists have moved here，attracted by the low rents and，partly，by Art Basel fair gives artists，collectors and gallery owners a rare chance to see world­class art but，more important，to learn from the leading players of the international art world.

The artist Christy Gast said she moved here in 2008 partly because the yearly art fair made the city seem like one of the rare places an artist could succeed in.“From the outside，Basel has created the idea that Miami is a city where being an artist is a right thing to do，”said city，for its part，has used Art Basel to show the world that it is no cultural backwater(闭塞的地方)．

Along with galleries and artists，Miami's stock of private art collectors has also risen in the last decade.
