After a stint in what felt like rather cramped quarters in Wynwood last year [http://hyperallergic.com/1421/miami-art-fair-photos/], the Aqua art fair returned to Miami Beach in a more relaxed setting — that even had a water feature — but the whole affair did feel a little underwhelming.

You know you're going to spend money this holiday season even if it's only a gift or two for friends, family or that special someone. So, why not spending money in a way that supports emerging galleries, craftspeople, artists, charities, or quality small businesses that are trying to do something di

Even if illustrator-cum-post-modern-artist Norman Rockwell initially titled his iconic work about Thanksgiving, “Freedom From Want [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Freedoms_%28Norman_Rockwell%29]“ and never mind that it was published in March 1943, the painting has come to exemplify the picture-pe
