Art Basel Miami Beach 2025

Art Basel’s Miami edition was first launched in 2002 and quickly evolved into the crown jewel of North American art events. Set at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the fair typically draws 80,000+ guests from across the globe for five days of contemporary art, innovation, and luxury.

Main Galleries Sector – The core section of the fair, featuring blue-chip galleries from over 30 countries presenting museum-quality works in painting, sculpture, mixed media, and photography. The emphasis is on both historical depth and contemporary relevance.

Positions – A platform for solo presentations by emerging artists, curated to reflect bold, new voices shaping contemporary practice across regions, disciplines, and media.

Meridians – A space for large-scale works that challenge conventional art fair formats—think multi-channel installations, immersive environments, and monumental sculptures.

Conversations – A daily lineup of moderated panels, artist talks, and curator-led interviews discussing current cultural discourse, market movements, and creative strategy.

Brand-hosted exhibitions in Wynwood and the Design District, blending commerce, design, and experiential marketing into must-see activations.

Yacht parties hosted by creative agencies and art dealers, where art meets lifestyle on the open water under the Miami night sky.

Fashion activations and art-tech collaborations, including pop-ups by luxury houses, digital artists, and wearable design pioneers.

Miami’s energy turns Art Basel into a city-wide takeover—where art isn’t just viewed, it’s lived. Each year, it deepens its footprint across media, design, and luxury culture, making it more than an art event—it’s a movement.
