Art Basel Miami Beach Extravaganza Kicks Off
RMG Staffing is hiring now for the 18th edition of Art Basel Miami Beach. This year, Art Basel in Miami Beach introduces its new sector, Meridians, dedicated to large-scale installations (those things that can only fit in a museum or art warehouse). On Thursday, the fair announced the selection of 34 projects— all that would fit in the 60,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom atop the Miami Beach Convention Center. (Actually, only 33 fit inside. An installation by Jose Davila will be staged outdoors on the convention center’s north side.) Art Basel announces gallery lineup for its 18th edition in Miami Beach in December • Global focus: 269 leading galleries from across the world to exhibit, with 20 galleries joining the fair for the first time • Unique overview of galleries and artists from the United States and Latin America, highlighting the fair’s importance within the region • Expansion of the fair with a new sector, Meridians, dedicated to large-scale works • Art Basel, whose Lead Partner is UBS, takes place from December 5 to December 8, 2019 at the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) Today Art Basel announced the 269 leading international galleries selected for its 2019 edition in Miami Beach this December. As the premier art fair of the Americas, more than half of the exhibitors have exhibition spaces in North and South America, providing a unique overview of the art scenes within the region. 12 galleries from the Americas are participating in the fair for the first time: Barro Arte Contemporáneo from Buenos Aires; Document, moniquemeloche, and Mariane Ibrahim Gallery from Chicago; M+B and Parker Gallery from Los Angeles; Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, Company Gallery and Karma from New York; Galería Agustina Ferreyra from Mexico City; Central Fine from Miami Beach; and Cooper Cole from Toronto. Given the fair’s global focus, the list of exhibitors includes galleries from 33 countries and territories spanning five continents, with a particularly strong lineup of galleries and artists from Asia. New entries to the fair from the region include 10 Chancery Lane Gallery from Hong Kong, Magician Space from Beijing, and ROH Projects from Jakarta, while Hanart TZ Gallery from Hong Kong participates for the first time in the Galleries sector. In addition, Taka Ishii Gallery from Tokyo and Edouard Malingue Gallery with exhibition spaces in Hong Kong and Shanghai both return to the fair after a hiatus. The show’s comprehensive narrative goes beyond its geographical breadth. Leading experts in Modern and historical works such as Acquavella Galleries, Landau Fine Art and Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art are joined by a new generation of art galleries including Clearing, Galeria Jaqueline Martins, and Société, allowing the show to span over a century of art history. Additionally, Meridians will provide a new platform for galleries and their artists to show work that pushes the boundaries of the traditional art fair layout. Curated by Magalí Arriola, Director of Museo Tamayo, the sector will be staged in the new Grand Ballroom of the MBCC, a column-less exhibition space of almost 6,000 square meters (60,000 square feet) that is directly connected to the exhibition halls.

RMG Staffs Miami’s Biggest New Year’s Eve Party: Justin Bieber LIVE at the Fontainebleau
All over the world, New Year’s Eve is about one thing – celebrating – and here at RMG Staffing, celebrations are what we’re all about. So to close 2016, we went out with a bang and staffed one of the year’s biggest parties. When the Fontainebleau Miami Beach decided to ring in 2017 with a blowout Justin Bieber concert, they called us here at RMG Staffing (one of their most reliable vendors!) to help it go off without a hitch. And, of course, we gladly obliged. I mean… how could we miss the biggest party of the year? A poolside NYE party so amazing we just had to relive it again. Were you there to see #JustinBieber? Sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, this epic, one-night-only event was just what you’d expect from an international hotspot like Miami Beach: glamorous, star-studded, packed, and above all, one heck of a party. Taking place by the Fontainebleau Miami Beach pool, Justin Bieber performed his biggest hits – like “Where Are You Now,” “Sorry” and “Love Yourself” – in front of a crowd of his best fans and A-list friends. And considering packages for the event were selling for as much as $500,000 a piece (yes, you read that right), it’s no surprise the hotel’s countdown to the New Year was nothing short of a spectacle. At one point, Skrillex and Marshmello joined “the Biebs” onstage, and celebrities like Jeremy Piven, La La Anthony and Jonathan Cheban, came to celebrate right along with them. After the concert, the party continued at LIV, where Justin and Skrillex performed and the champagne flowed all night long. As for us, we had one job for the night: make sure the guests were taken care of. That means handling everything from setting up and breaking down all the beverage stations and VIP tables, acting as VIP hostesses and serving bottles to VIP tables, to whipping up drinks behind the bar, serving as bar backs, and managing and staffing the event as a whole. We put together a crew of about 140 staff members and coordinators to make it all happen. Having worked with the Fontainebleau Miami Beach for many years now, we understood the high standard of professionalism and service they required for this event and always, as well as our shared goals of hiring only those individuals who provide the highest levels of luxury, enthusiasm, energy and service. We brought all of those qualities there with us on New Year’s Eve through our proficient staff, and are proud to say that the night went as smoothly as our client and our company anticipated. To get the opportunity to work with high-caliber clients like Fontainebleau Miami Beach, we at RMG had to have already established a reputation for success. Over the years, we have staffed some of South Florida’s most prestigious events, like concerts, DJ festivals, celebrity weddings, galas and political, even Presidential affairs. We’ve staffed many of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s weekend concerts, Drake concerts, Madonna’s Art Basel concert and fundraiser at the Faena Miami Beach, two evenings hosted by Former President Barack Obama at the JW Marriott Marquis, Art Basel parties, and many other corporate events and soirées. We’re proud of what we do, and how well we do it, and nothing makes us happier than being entrusted to support sought-after parties like this one, the revered Fontainebleau’s own NYE bash, and getting only the best feedback as a result. And with that, here’s to 2017, staffers! Remember us for any events you’re planning or staffing jobs you need this year. We can’t wait to see what these next 12 months have in store for all of us – so let’s make it a good one. For more information, please call (305) 890-1562 or send us an email: info@rmgstaffing.com
