The shows attract more than 38,000 attendees each year and represent more than 650 artists and galleries worldwide.

"We are thrilled to announce our exclusive lifestyle partnership with one of the region's most preeminent real estate leaders," said Eric Smith, CEO of Redwood Media Group. "The clientele that Cervera Real Estate has been serving for over 48 years is extremely compatible with the audience of collectors and art enthusiasts that our shows attract in Miami and nationwide.  These individuals often acquire second or third homes and are looking to fill the walls of a newly bought property or as part of a renovation project.   These "nesters" live in a world where they're aware of art and they want to own a meaningful collection, such as a print or work by an emerging artist.  Art buyers today are increasingly purchasing work for their high-end homes, and South Florida is the epicenter for both luxury real estate and luxury art."

"We're pleased to form this unique strategic alliance with two of the longest running art fairs during Miami Art Week," said Veronica Cervera Goeseke, CEO of Cervera Real Estate. "Today's contemporary art world is perfectly aligned with the current luxury real estate landscape, and this valuable partnership allows Cervera to offer its clientele an insider's perspective on the existing trends within the fine art marketplace."
