Alec Monopoly Art Basel Miami 2025: Flying to a Happy
Place Takes Over Miami
Art Basel Miami 2025 is about to take off—literally—as Alec Monopoly Art Basel Miami 2025 brings a high-flying dose of luxury, playfulness, and escapism to the Magic City. This year, the world-renowned contemporary artist is ditching the canvas and taking to the skies with “Flying to a Happy Place,” a multi-site, life-size jet sculpture takeover that transforms Miami Beach into a vibrant playground of color, imagination, and pure fantasy.
What can visitors expect? Think full-scale jet sculptures, projections that feel like stepping inside Monopoly’s mind, celebrity sightings, booming nightlife energy, and the unmistakable fusion of art and travel that only Alec can deliver. Miami has never looked so fly.
The Design District Takes Flight
The artistic journey begins on Wednesday, December 3rd, when a VIP-only launch party will unveil the centerpiece of Monopoly’s new universe: a life-size Gulfstream jet sculpture and a sleek fighter jet displayed in the Miami Design District.
Guests will be enveloped in bright light shows, signature Monopoly visuals, and a soundtrack courtesy of a special guest DJ, setting the tone for what promises to be one of the buzziest moments of Art Basel Miami 2025.
From December 4th to 8th, the installation opens to the public, giving art lovers, collectors, influencers, jetsetters, and Miami’s eternally curious crowd a chance to wander into this dreamscape.
Expect interactive moments, photo-worthy scenes, and the artist’s playful commentary on wealth, travel, and chasing the good life.

Expands to Lincoln Road
The journey doesn’t end in the Design District. Art fans can continue the adventure at the iconic Eden Gallery on Lincoln Road, where a secondary extension of the exhibition brings an elevated collector-focused experience. Acting as a symbolic entryway into the “Flying to a Happy Place” dimension, the gallery will showcase select pieces from Alec’s collection and host an exclusive event on Thursday, December 4th.
Here, lovers of contemporary art and bold visual storytelling can dive deeper into the luxurious, mischievous, high-energy universe that has made Monopoly one of the most sought-after creators today.
More Than an Exhibition — It’s a Lifestyle
Across both locations, “Flying to a Happy Place” blends art, design, and lifestyle into one cinematic narrative. It’s not just about the sculptures or the installations—it’s about how they make you feel. Monopoly taps into the collective desire for freedom, escapism, and unfiltered joy, using jets as the ultimate symbol of “going somewhere better.”
Think of it as a passport to the imagination. Miami becomes the runway. The art becomes the aircraft. And you become the passenger.
Whether you’re an art collector, an influencer, a nightlife lover, or simply someone who dreams in color, this experience captures the essence of why Art Basel remains a global phenomenon: it blurs boundaries, bends reality, and invites you to play.
Alec Monopoly’s Biggest Year Yet
The Art Basel debut comes on the heels of a blockbuster year for Alec. His collaboration “Too Much Swag” with TECH IT DEEP and the melodic “Cold Fresh Air” with Solardo have elevated his position not just as an artist, but as a cultural shape-shifter blending visual art and electronic music. His worldwide performances—from Dubai to Ibiza to Mykonos, with Bali and Thailand next on deck—continue to draw massive crowds.
This multidimensional approach has allowed Alec to carve out a unique space where art, nightlife, and global travel merge into one unstoppable creative force.
Why “Flying to a Happy Place” Matters
At its core, Monopoly’s new exhibition is a meditation on happiness—where we find it, how we chase it, and why we sometimes look to travel and luxury for the feeling of escape. The jets represent possibility. The colors spark joy. The immersive elements provoke wonder.
In a city already known for big dreams and big energy, this exhibition taps into Miami’s heartbeat. It invites visitors to dream bigger, play harder, and catch flights, not feelings… unless those feelings include excitement, aspiration, and pure Basel bliss.
