Capital One Cardholders Get Exclusive Access at Miami Art Week 2023

Credit card issuers have been going beyond the bounds of what might be called traditional travel with exclusive access to sports, dining, entertainment, and more.

At this year’s Miami Art Week in December, Capital One will be creating immersive experiences and dining events for cardholders.

Here’s what you need to know.

Capital One at Miami Art Week

Capital One cardholders and the general public will have the chance to experience Miami Art Week programming convening several Capital One partners: Global arts club The Cultivist, award-winning artist Alex Israel, and Michelin-starred chefs José Andrés and Dominique Crenn.

Miami Art Week is an annual splashy event featuring thousands of international creatives featuring concerts, art installations, parties, street art, and much more. At the heart of the annual celebration is the international art fair Art Basel Miami Beach.

Capital One’s interactive experience, combining art and food, is a unique take on a fine dining experience. The event will showcase a pop-up frozen yogurt shop from Alex Israel while José Andrés and Dominique Crenn are creating their own unique takes on frozen yogurt flavors. The culmination will be a multi-course meal — exclusively available to eligible Capital One cardholders on Capital One Dining.

The art exhibition, called “Snow Beach Frozen Treats,” is a pop-up frozen yogurt shop inspired by Alex Israel’s childhood in Los Angeles. It will be available to the public on December 8, 2023.  

“We’re excited to touch down at one of the most sought-after cultural moments — Miami Art Week — and, with the help of incredible partners in the visual and culinary arts, we are creating an interactive, art-saturated experience where art informs food and, in turn, the food further influences the art to ultimately push the boundaries of a fine dining experience,” said Monica Weaver, Head of Branded Card Partnerships and Experiences, Capital One, in a statement.
