Every December, Miami turns into one sprawling, sun-drenched gallery, and 2026 is shaping up the same way. From November 30 to December 6, Miami Art Week rolls more than 20 art fairs and 1,200-plus galleries into a single seven-day stretch across Wynwood, Miami Beach, Coral Gables and Downtown. Honestly, the hardest part is choosing where to start.

Key Highlights
- Twenty-plus fairs, one week. The official schedule lists Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Miami, CONTEXT, NADA, UNTITLED, Aqua, Scope, Pinta and more, each independently run with its own tickets and hours.
- Design Miami is on the calendar. It runs December 1–6 at Convention Center Drive and 19th Street in Miami Beach, though daily hours were still listed as TBD at the time of writing.
- arteNXT and photoMIAMI in Wynwood. Miami Art Week’s own curated shows fill The Miami Art Week Gallery on North Miami Avenue, with photoMIAMI billed as the week’s only photo-centric show.
- A six-panel Forum. Split between Gables Art Cinema in Coral Gables (December 3) and the Frost Science Museum downtown (December 5), sessions cover art and ownership, environmental storytelling, Miami’s creative economy and digital visual culture.
- Public space gets its own panel. “Marking the Moment” looks at graffiti, muralism and how public works record neighborhood histories and Miami’s changing streetscape.
- The inaugural Miami Media Festival. Short and micro-short films, AI-assisted work, XR and immersive media screen at the Frost Science Museum Planetarium and O Cinema South Beach on December 5 (times tentative).
Why Miami Art Week 2026 Matters
Miami Art Week works less like a single fair and more like a citywide umbrella, gathering major fairs, satellite shows and its own official programming into one coordinated week. For architecture and interior design readers, the pull is Design Miami plus Forum conversations on public space and Miami’s cultural identity, all in one trip across several very different neighborhoods. Collectors, designers and anyone curious about how a city stages its creative economy will get the most out of it.
One practical note: tickets and hours vary by venue, so check each fair’s own site before you head out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does one ticket get me into every fair?
No. Miami Art Week, LLC produces only its Featured Events; the other fairs are independently owned, so tickets, VIP passes and hours come from each fair directly.
When can the public see arteNXT and photoMIAMI?
Public hours run Tuesday, December 1 through Sunday, December 6 at The Miami Art Week Gallery in Wynwood, opening at noon or 11 a.m. and staying open until 9 p.m. on Thursday and Saturday.
Can artists still exhibit in 2026?
In-person arteNXT and photoMIAMI applications are closed, and the official digital exhibition page set an October 31, 2026 deadline, so email the team above to ask about any remaining options.
