About this venue

Located steps away from the renowned sandy shores of Miami Beach and the Art Deco Historic District, you’ll find a hidden treasure that is truly unique. Originally a library built in the 1930s, The Bass is an iconic landmark with history and mix of art deco and modern architecture, initiated by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Arata Isozaki. Freshly renovated to maintain timeless touches, expand event space, and highlight rotating contemporary art exhibition galleries, The Bass is now available for private use. From intimate dinners to weddings, lectures and meetings and parties of any size, get inspired by our breathtaking historic, art deco space, merged with modern and contemporary elements in a creative and dynamic environment that appeals to all. State-of-the-art spaces offer a range of flexible options to accommodate groups of 10 to 600+ guests.
