BELLA Media + Co. is thrilled to debut BELLA Around Town’s first-ever Art Basel dedicated issue, featuring the extraordinary father-daughter duo: internationally acclaimed sculptor Kreg Harrison and rising luxury handbag designer Sydnie Banks, whose work is redefining contemporary craftsmanship and artisanal fashion.
To celebrate this milestone edition, BELLA Around Town will host an exclusive Opening Night Celebration on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the InterContinental Hotel in Miami. The event will unite artists, collectors, designers, tastemakers, and cultural leaders for an unforgettable evening during Miami Art Basel. Guests will enjoy an intimate first look at the issue, live artistic moments, and a curated experience inspired by the intersecting creative worlds of Harrison and Banks.
This inaugural Art Basel edition marks BELLA Around Town’s expansion onto the global arts and culture stage, honoring the innovation, energy, and cross-disciplinary conversations that define Art Basel. With its signature blend of style, storytelling, and cultural depth, BELLA Around Town offers readers an insider perspective on Miami’s most anticipated week of art, fashion, and design.
At the heart of the issue is an exclusive intergenerational cover story highlighting sculptor Kreg Harrison, renowned for his mastery of form, anatomy, and emotional movement, alongside Sydnie Banks, whose handcrafted luxury handbags have quickly positioned her as a visionary talent and name to watch in the design world.
Together, Harrison and Banks present a rare narrative of legacy, craftsmanship, personal expression, and the evolving intersection between fine art and fashion. Their interview explores how two artists—working across different mediums and generations—interpret creativity, influence one another, and contribute to the broader cultural dialogue shaping Art Basel.
“This edition represents an exciting new chapter for BELLA Media,” says Vanessa Coppes, CEO + Editor-in-Chief of BELLA Magazine. “Art Basel is where creativity expresses its boldest form. Featuring Kreg and Sydnie—two visionaries connected by artistry and family—captures the innovation, heritage, and soul that define this moment.”
The Art Basel issue of BELLA Around Town also includes curated guides to Miami’s most notable exhibitions, cultural activations, luxury events, and insider experiences—delivering readers the elevated access and compelling storytelling that define the BELLA brand.
The issue will be available for digital download and at select partner locations throughout Miami during Art Basel Week.
