PRODUCED BY THE NEW TROPIC CREATIVE STUDIO WITH BAPTIST HEALTH

After a few days of VIP openings and members-only parties, a bunch of Art Basel fairs are opening to the public today. That’s why we made you this highly curated itinerary for each day of Basel this week.

While some of the bigger fairs like Scope, Design Miami, Pulse and Art Miami are definitely worth checking out, our daily suggestions include info on more low-key, hidden gem spots and some family friendly events, like the Young at Art ArtCade, which allows kids to create their own digital art.

So bookmark this page, print it out in case your signal gets bad, or text yourself the link so you know what to do at Basel each day this week. And if you want to check out our full guide with other tips on how to make the most of your time at Basel, head here.

MADE POSSIBLE BY NEW WORLD SCHOOL OF THE ARTS (NWSA)

Passing the gavel. Miami-Dade Commissioner Audrey Edmonson will take over as commission chairwoman next year after winning in a unanimous vote. She’ll be responsible for setting the agenda for commission meetings and also appointing leaders for the various committees that discuss and decide laws before those laws get voted on by the commission.

You probably won’t see this on Change.org. As federal government and local officials try to combat the spread of teenage e-cigarette use, a Miami-Dade school board member has a unique plan: Make students sign a pledge that they won’t vape in school. That school board member has also proposed installing vape detectors in school bathrooms and thinks schools should give students information on the potential health risks of vaping. (Miami New Times)

Another plan to expand Metrorail. Months after a debate over expanding Metrorail lines further south, a plan to build rail going north is gaining some momentum. This proposal would involve building an elevated rail system along Northwest 27th Avenue, spanning 13 miles up to the Broward County line. But the price could be too prohibitive for the county. Estimates suggest that it would cost about $1.8 billion to build the new rail lines, and about $46 million a year to run the expanded railway. (Miami Herald)

No big deal, right? When elections department heads met earlier this week in Sarasota to talk about potential changes to how we run our elections, they didn’t seem too worried about the whole unprecedented recount thing we just experienced last month. Folks like the Lake County elections supervisor Alan Hays said, “Let’s be in the process of fine-tuning rather than radical overall.” So what fine tuning are they suggesting? Sending absentee ballots sooner, allowing departments to start counting mail ballots sooner, and giving people an extra day to verify and fix signatures on their ballots. (Sarasota Herald-Tribune)

A canvas for climate change. Art Basel is a major platform for artists to comment on hotly-debated topics, which is why several artists are taking advantage of that platform and displaying work all over town that  showcases the potentially damaging impacts of rising seas and climate change, while also identifying potential solutions. (Miami Herald)

THAT’S ALL FOR TODAY.

We’ll see you on Friday Jr.!
