Commissioner's Miami Art Week Guide 2021
Miami Art Week is upon us. Dive into our guide to fairs, talks, tours and events that center contemporary artists, Miami-based organizations and collectives, and things that intrigue us. But don’t just take our word for it: ask artists, curators and journalists for their top picks. And read The Art Newspaper, Sugarcane Magazine, Miami Herald, Hyperallergic, Artsy, and many others for their insights. When you know what you like, it’s easier to seek out and curate the Basel experience that works for you.
How to use this list:
Programs and itineraries sometimes change. Visit and verify information on the event’s website before you go.
Listings highlighted in turquoise feature Commissioner artists, member or partner events; and yellow denotes past YoungArts award winners or guest artists.
This list is curated, not comprehensive.
For the safety of our community, stay informed on COVID-19 safety guidelines.
We want to see things, too. This list will not be updated throughout Miami Art Week (remember things change).
Share your experience and things to check out. Tag us on IG at @cmxnr.
Some events are open to the public, no RSVP required. Others require an RSVP, and will take a little extra work to get in the door. If you’re a member of Commissioner, you should already have links and passcodes to many of the fairs and initiatives that we’re excited to call our partners. Alternatively, seek out membership at one of Miami’s wonderful museums for passes and invitations to private events—your support will go a long way and the benefits extend well beyond Basel.
Grateful to Heike Dempster for so diligently pulling these offerings together for you, and to Direlia Lazo of Together for her collaboration. A hybrid art fair model, Together is one of many new initiatives that we’re looking forward to visiting.
