Miami Art Week, headlined by Art Basel Miami Beach, returns December 1-7, 2025, transforming Miami-Dade County into a sprawling arts celebration. The guide highlights major fairs including Art Basel (283 galleries from 43 countries), Art Miami + Context Art Miami (celebrating 35 years with 160 international galleries), Scope Art Show (featuring padel matches and 80+ galleries), and Untitled Art Fair (160 exhibitors including nonprofits for the first time). Notable new additions include Cuban gallery El Apartamento making history as the first gallery founded on the island to participate in Art Basel, and a new digital art sector called Zero 10.
This guide matters because Miami Art Week has become one of the most important art market events globally, drawing collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts from around the world. The sheer scale and diversity of fairs—from blue-chip galleries at Art Basel to emerging artists at Scope and Untitled—demonstrates the city's role as a cultural hub and bellwether for contemporary art trends. The inclusion of a Cuban gallery and a digital art sector signals the market's expanding geographic and technological boundaries.
