Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami

A new, purpose-built building – plus large sculpture garden – with latticed metallic frontage isn't all that dazzles about the re-opened ICA Miami. There's the free admission, which is positively revolutionary in a city famed for costliness. There's the languid Design District vibe. There's the presence of videography, installation and virtually every other medium. And there are the project spaces dedicated to up-and-coming artists, starting with Haitian-American abstract painter Tomm El-Saieh. Two further floors of exhibition space examine current practices and trends. Stay on Miami Beach at The Julia, a chilled-out, adults-only boutique hotel, where wine-and-cheese happy hours are held daily behind its Art Deco facade.
