Scope Art Show Miami has announced its 2025 edition, themed "Be Here Now," which will take place December 2–7. The fair will feature 95 galleries from 18 countries and territories, including over 30 first-time exhibitors, along with large-scale installations, performances, and collaborative activations. Highlights include a reprisal of The Better Together Bar by Chris Allen Darsow and Al Hamm, a monumental installation by Victor Quiñonez (Marka27) titled "Elevar La Cultura" (2025), Shepard Fairey's "Phone Booth" presented by Mortal Machine Gallery, and Dan Witz's hyperrealist painting "Crown Heights" (2025).
The theme "Be Here Now" responds to the contemporary crisis of attention and distraction, positioning the fair as a space for presence, connection, and community. By curating immersive experiences that dissolve boundaries between art, artist, and audience, Scope aims to differentiate itself in the crowded Miami art fair landscape and offer a counterpoint to the acceleration of digital culture. The fair's focus on first-time exhibitors and site-specific projects underscores its commitment to emerging voices and experiential engagement.
