CONTEXT Art Miami Unveils 2026 Exhibitors and Special Programming
CONTEXT Art Miami, the sister fair to Art Miami focused on emerging and mid-career artists, has announced its participating exhibitors for its 14th edition. The fair will return to One Herald Plaza from December 1-6 during Miami Art Week.
The 2026 edition features galleries from cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Beijing, Cape Town, Capri, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Miami, New York, Paris, Santiago de Chile, and Seoul. Presentations will include new and recent works, solo artist features, curated projects, immersive installations, and large-scale works.
"Discovery has always been at the heart of CONTEXT Art Miami," said Julian Navarro, Director of the fair. "There's a profound resonance that emerges when encountering an artist or body of work for the first time—a moment of revelation that reshapes our understanding of contemporary practice."
Shepard Fairey Programming and Extended Hours
Opening day will feature special programming from artist and activist Shepard Fairey, recipient of the 2026 Art Miami Lifetime Visionary Award.
On December 1, Fairey will perform an exclusive DJ set at CONTEXT starting at 7:30 p.m. To accommodate the performance, the fair will extend its opening-night hours until 9:30 p.m., allowing guests to transition from Art Miami to CONTEXT for the evening. Fairey's involvement across the Art Miami fair family also includes a VIP Lounge presentation at Art Miami, a DJ set at Aqua Art Miami on December 2, and a new mural at the Aqua Hotel.
Fair Access and VIP Previews
CONTEXT Art Miami and Art Miami open on December 1 with a Platinum VIP Preview from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a standard VIP Preview from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Both previews benefit the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). General admission begins at 4 p.m. A connecting passageway allows visitors to travel seamlessly between both fairs.
Tickets are exclusively available online.
