Greater Miami and Miami Beach celebrate global art

Visual arts has taken centrestage in Greater Miami and Miami Beach as part of ‘Fall for the Arts’ a three-month cultural celebration presented by The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB).

‘Fall for the Arts’, which began on October 1, goes up to December 7 and serves to reinforce Greater Miami and Miami Beach’s role as one of the world’s leading destinations for art and culture.

“Every fall, the world’s attention turns to Greater Miami and Miami Beach for artistic inspiration,” said David Whitaker, president & CEO of the GMCVB. “Our stages, museums, neighbourhoods and even our shorelines become platforms for some of the boldest artistic expressions anywhere. ‘Fall for the Arts’ celebrates this moment in time, inviting the world to discover why our region continues to evolve as a global cultural capital.”

Since the arrival of Art Basel Miami Beach in 2002, Greater Miami and Miami Beach have emerged as a vibrant epicentre of contemporary art and performance. With 23 museums, hundreds of galleries, and an ever-evolving public art landscape, the destination has become synonymous with innovation, diversity, and creative freedom. ‘Fall for the Arts’ builds on this legacy, creating a cohesive season that leads into the globally recognised Miami Art Week (December 1–7).

Art of Black Miami (AOBM) is a celebration of the contribution of black artists to Miami’s cultural landscape. AOBM was founded in 2014 with a clear vision: to create a premier art experience for visitors to see Miami through the lens of diversity while filling a void in the destination’s art scene and spotlighting black artists who were often overlooked. The programme, which started as a localised effort to bring black art into the spotlight during Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami Beach has brought black art to the forefront of the art scene. Today, thousands of art enthusiasts – both tourist and residents, explore Greater Miami and Miami Beach looking for all things art.

This season will feature an extraordinary roster of events, activations, and performances, including:

• Art of Black Miami (November 30–December 7): Highlighting artists and creatives from the African diaspora.

• The Reefline is a groundbreaking seven-mile underwater public sculpture park blending art, science, and conservation.

• Doral International Art Fair (November 6–9): Four days of exhibitions and multicultural exchange.

• Miami Beach’s No Vacancy Program (November 13–December 20): Hotel-based art installations featuring local artists.

• Wynwood Walls’ Goldman Global Arts Gallery presents Beyond: Echoes of a Borderless Life (till November 16): A dual solo exhibition by renowned street artists Millo and Seth, featuring new works, a collaborative piece, and a site-specific installation that explores human connection, empathy, and shared nostalgia across borders.

The Lincoln Road monthly art walk held every third Thursday with participating galleries including Avant Gallery, Romero Britto, KUSH Fine Art, LUMAS, LIK Gallery, Fly Miami Art, IRIS Galerie and FIU MB Urban Studios Design Gallery. The galleries extend their hours and showcase works from local and international artists. Along the promenade, public art installations such as Duck with Pride by Facundo Yebne, Giraffe and Chimpanzee Were on a Wild Ride to a Safer Place by Gillie & Marc and XO World by Daniel Anderson offer additional points of interest.

Whether strolling through open-air galleries on Lincoln Road, engaging with cutting-edge performances, or witnessing cultural traditions reimagined, ‘Fall for the Arts’ underscores why Greater Miami and Miami Beach stand at the crossroads of global creativity.
