Aqua Art Miami Unveils Exhibitors for 20th Edition
Aqua Art Miami has announced its 2026 participating exhibitors as the fair prepares to celebrate its 20th edition at the Aqua Hotel in Miami Beach. Running from December 2 through December 6 during Miami Art Week, the event will feature 44 galleries from nine countries presenting emerging and mid-career artists. Representation spans cities such as Buenos Aires, New York, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, and Zurich.
The fair utilizes the rooms of the classic South Beach hotel as exhibition spaces, extending displays into the property's open-air courtyard and rooftop.
Shepard Fairey Mural and Obey Shop
To mark the anniversary, artist and activist Shepard Fairey—recipient of the 2026 Art Miami Lifetime Visionary Award—will create a large-scale exterior mural on the Aqua Hotel. Guests will also have access to an Obey pop-up shop in the hotel lobby offering signature prints and merchandise.
Fairey will perform a DJ set during the fair's VIP Preview on December 2. This appearance complements his broader involvement with the Art Miami fair family, which includes a DJ set at CONTEXT Art Miami on December 1 and a curated presentation in the Art Miami VIP Lounge.
