EGAD to Sponsor Luxury Bus to Art Basel Miami Beach December 5
For the third year, Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD) will take art enthusiasts to Miami Beach for the best art show in the country—Art Basel Miami. The show runs for the first week of December, but the “Basel Bus” is an easy one day trip. The bus leaves from Eau Gallie Square at 8 am and returns no later than 9 pm. With a quick stop mid-way on the Turnpike, the bus arrives Miami Beach at 10:30 am. The bus leaves Miami by 6 pm. Riders are free to go off and spend the day as they wish, as long as they return to the departure destination by 6 pm. If you’re not an art enthusiastic, consider it a great way to South Beach for the day.
Tickets are available online at www.baselbus.com. Full details, including links to all things Art Basel, are also on the site. Native Miamians say this is an event that must be experienced to believe. It’s world class art and people watching all in a day.

Ticket prices are tiered with the lowest fare being $30 for Brevard County art teachers, $50 for EGAD members, and $60 for non-EGAD members. Leave the driving to us and enjoy the ride. Adults only please; this is a very difficult trip for children.

For further information, please contact Lisa Packard at (321) 574-2737 or info@eaugalliearts.com.
