Hotels near Art Basel Miami Beach

Art Basel Miami Beach is the largest contemporary art fair in the Americas. The 2026 edition is open to the public from 4 to 6 December at the Miami Beach Convention Center, after invitation-only preview days on 2 and 3 December. More than 280 galleries from over 40 countries show painting, sculpture, photography, film and digital work, and day tickets typically cost around $55-75 (about €50-70).

The main fair is the centre of Miami Art Week, which runs from 30 November to 6 December 2026. More than 20 satellite fairs open in tents on Ocean Drive, warehouses in Wynwood and spaces across the city, and museums host free talks and installations. Public art in Collins Park, a few blocks east of the convention center, is free to see.

Pro Tip: Traffic on the causeways is gridlocked during Art Week. Use the Miami Beach Trolley or a Citi Bike between venues, and visit the main fair on the Friday morning, when it is calmer than the weekend.
