Art Basel is just the beginning: all 18 Miami Art Week fairs, explained
By Brian Firth
For one week, Miami doesn’t have an art fair — it has eighteen. A blue-chip anchor on Miami Beach, tents on the sand, hotel rooms turned into galleries, a design-only fair, a prints-only fair, and free artist-run shows from North Miami to Coconut Grove. Here’s what each one actually is, how they’re different, who’s showing, and what it costs to get in.
Miami Art Week runs in practice November 29 – December 6, 2026: AfriKin’s Vernissage opens Nov 29 in North Miami and Fridge’s Habitat Hyett venue opens Nov 30, while the City of Miami Beach counts Art Week Miami Beach as Nov 30 – Dec 6. The anchor, Art Basel Miami Beach, is open to the public Dec 4–6. Prices and hours below were checked against official fair and ticket pages on Nov 15, 2026. Where an official page didn’t publish a figure, we left it out rather than guess. Prices change, so confirm before you buy.
18fairs running in Dec 2026
272exhibitors at Art Basel, the week’s biggest draw by far

$25lowest adult day ticket we could verify (PRIZM, plus a small fee)
Every fair below is confirmed for December 2026. If your time is short, these four shortcuts will sort your week.
The biggest draws
Art Basel Miami Beach (272 exhibitors) by a wide margin, then Untitled Art (166+ galleries and nonprofits), NADA Miami (135), Art Miami + CONTEXT (130+ galleries at Art Miami alone) and newcomer InScope (70+ galleries, 45,000+ attendees expected).
Best for discovery
NADA (peer-reviewed emerging galleries), Untitled’s Nest & Artist Spotlight, CONTEXT, Aqua, InScope, Fridge and Art Gaysel. Inside Art Basel itself, look at Positions (emerging solos) and Nova (new work).
Free & cheapest
Free: INK Miami (register online), Fridge and Art Gaysel, plus Art Basel’s free outdoor James Turrell work and the Between Tides ping-pong tables in Collins Park. Lowest verified day tickets: PRIZM $25 · Aqua $32 · Pinta early-bird $35 · NADA $55.
Best-value multi-fair tickets
Art Miami/CONTEXT multi-day $184 (includes one Aqua day) · InScope full week $120 early-bird, through Nov 20 · Red Dot/Spectrum all-access $70 in advance, through Nov 27 · PRIZM multi-day $50, on sale through Dec 4.
Do it by neighborhood
The fairs cluster. Pick a cluster and you can walk between fairs instead of sitting in Art Week traffic. The City of Miami Beach is running free water taxis and shuttles Nov 30 – Dec 6 connecting Miami Beach, Downtown Miami and the Design District.
Walkable core
Convention Center & Collins Park
Art Basel Miami Beach + Design Miami side by side, with the free Between Tides tables and Turrell work in Collins Park between them.
Densest cluster
South Beach & Ocean Drive
InScope (8th St), Untitled (12th St) and PRIZM (640 Ocean Dr) on the sand and Ocean Drive. A few blocks west: Aqua (1530 Collins), INK (1850 Collins), Fridge’s venues on James Ave, Lincoln Road and Washington Ave, and Art Gaysel on Lincoln Road (evenings).
Separate trip north
Mid-Beach
KEY Art + Design Fair at 4601 Collins Ave (46th & Collins). Not walkable from South Beach, so plan it as its own stop.
Downtown waterfront
Art Miami + CONTEXT
One site at One Herald Plaza, one shared ticket, PAMM nearby.
Mainland outing
Wynwood / Overtown
NADA (1400 N Miami Ave), Red Dot & Spectrum (Mana Wynwood) and Point Comfort (Historic Overtown) are all within about 1.5 miles.
Standalone trips
Pinta & AfriKin
Pinta Miami is south in Coconut Grove, so pair it with a Grove evening. AfriKin is north in North Miami, and it’s the week’s earliest opener, Nov 29.

The 18 fairs
01 · THE ANCHOR
Art Basel Miami Beach
The largest, most blue-chip fair in the Americas: museum-caliber Modern and postwar work alongside leading contemporary galleries, all on a single floor. In 2026 it’s deliberately smaller and reconfigured, with about 12% less floor space, roughly 10% fewer Galleries-sector exhibitors, four hospitality plazas instead of five, and blue-chip galleries spread across the floor instead of grouped. Director: Bridget Finn.

The week’s only major fair devoted to collectible design (historic and contemporary furniture, lighting, ceramics and objects) rather than fine art. The 22nd edition’s theme is Unveiling, under Curatorial Director Charlene Prempeh, and it runs in four threads: Process as Aesthetic, Subverting Archetypes, Material Poetry, and Mirrors of Society and Place. 75+ exhibitors across Gallery, Curio, Special Project and partner programs.

Beyond the fairs: free installations and brand moments
Not everything worth seeing during Art Week sits inside a fair. These two are on the public calendar.
Free · Faena Beach, Miami Beach · Dec 1–6
A Lore Supreme at Faena
Christopher Joshua Benton’s kinetic sculpture is a mirrored sphere about 27 feet tall and 44 feet wide, with more than 7,000 mirrored facets that move with the wind. Speakers inside play a soundscape of music and stories collected from Miami’s creative communities. It is open to the public from 12 to 9 p.m., December 1 to 6, and free. A separate Faena Art commissions preview on November 30 is invite only. Also free at Faena: Marinella Senatore’s An Expanded Baroque Crown in the hotel lobby, December 1 to 6. Faena’s Art Week page ↗
Pantone is hosting “The Pantone Color of the Year 2027 Experience: Beyond the Color” in Miami on December 3, listed under Art Basel & Miami Art Week. Registration is through the event’s RSVP page. The venue and program had not been published when we checked, so confirm details when you RSVP. RSVP page ↗
Not happening: don’t get caught out
Four familiar names are not live 2026 fairs, and one more is unconfirmed. Older guides still list some of them.
Replaced, not running standalone
SCOPE Miami Beach
There is no standalone SCOPE in 2026. The SCOPE team’s new fair, InScope, takes over the old pavilion site at Ocean Drive and 8th Street. Guides still saying “SCOPE” are using outdated naming.
Not in Miami this December
Superfine Art Fair
Its last Miami edition we found was Feb 16–19, 2023, and its 2026 activity is elsewhere (for example Superfine NYC, Nov 20–22, 2026). It isn’t listed in any 2026 Art Week guide we checked.
No 2026 edition found
Miami River Art Fair
No 2026 announcement, dates, venue or exhibitors turned up. The last dated in-person listings were Dec 2023 and Dec 2024.
Not a fair
Art of Black / Art of Black Miami
This is the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau’s year-round umbrella programme, not a fair with its own venue and tickets. Point Comfort, AfriKin, PRIZM and the CADA events at KEY run under its umbrella.
Unconfirmed for 2026
Satellite Art Show
We couldn’t confirm 2026 dates with the organizer, so it isn’t counted among the 18. Check satellite-show.com for updates.
