Art Miami Build Crews

The job is delivered, not simply designed. Art Miami is a build-execution show: the design matters, but the install is where things get won or lost. We staff the project for the specific floor plan, the specific load-in window, and the specific dismantle pace. Our crews have install patterns mapped for Wynwood Arts District Tent, Miami and our project managers have run multiple cycles of this event.

Build Timeline for Art Miami

We plan Art Miami builds backwards from the official load-in window. Structural elements pre-staged the day before, graphics applied morning-of, AV and lighting calibrated by midday, then a final walkthrough with the project manager before doors open.

For Art Miami, we run a build-list per booth that tracks every component from production through install.
