The 23rd edition brings 283 galleries and groundbreaking art from across the Americas and beyond.

This December, Miami Beach will once again become the epicenter of contemporary and Modern art as Art Basel returns to the Miami Beach Convention Center. Now in its 23rd edition, the fair showcases 283 galleries from around the world, including 49 debut participants, cementing its reputation as the premier meeting point for artistic innovation across the Western Hemisphere. The fair runs December 4–7, with Preview Days on December 3–4, and UBS returns as Global Lead Partner.

“Art Basel Miami Beach stands at the intersection of culture and the market, a platform where artistic vision and economic energy converge to define what comes next,” said Bridget Finn, Director, Art Basel Miami Beach. “Each edition responds to the urgency and ambition of its moment while laying groundwork for the future. In 2025, we bring together exceptional galleries, artists, and patrons in an environment defined by rigor, exchange, and possibility.”

The fair offers a panoramic view of the Americas’ artistic production, highlighting Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic practices while revisiting Modernism through a trans-hemispheric lens. From mid-century masters to emerging contemporary voices, the 2025 edition emphasizes the multiplicity of American art, celebrating it not as a single narrative but as a constellation of perspectives.

The 2025 edition foregrounds the multiplicity of American art, not as a single narrative but as a constellation of perspectives,” said Vincenzo de Bellis, Chief Artistic Officer and Global Director of Fairs, Art Basel. “From Indigenous modernisms to emergent diasporic practices and digital forms, the fair traces how artists throughout the Americas continue to reshape global artistic imagination.”

Visitors can explore the fair’s core sectors — Galleries, Positions, Nova, and Survey — featuring work of the highest caliber and reflecting a commitment to curatorial depth and geographic breadth. Meridians returns as the curatorial epicenter under Yasmil Raymond with the theme The Shape of Time. The revitalized Conversations program brings artists, collectors, and thinkers together for three days of live debate and exchange, opening with a full day devoted to art and sport. Daily Digital Dialogues also return.

This year also marks the debut of Zero 10, Art Basel’s new platform for digital-era art, curated by Eli Scheinman and presented with OpenSea. The initiative brings together leading and next-generation digital artists, studios, and galleries to explore how art of the digital era is exhibited, contextualized, and collected.

The U.S. premiere of the Art Basel Awards, in partnership with BOSS, coincides with the unveiling of the inaugural Gold Awards on December 4. The awards honor 11 outstanding practitioners and institutions across visual art and adjacent creative fields, celebrating innovation, collaboration, and visionary achievement in today’s global contemporary art ecosystem.

Partnerships across fashion, design, technology, and hospitality emphasize Art Basel’s role as a catalyst for creative collaboration and discovery, strengthening the networks that sustain the world’s most dynamic art market.

In 2025, Art Basel Miami Beach captures the Americas as a living laboratory of creative dialogue, a place where histories are re-examined, boundaries blur, and new voices rise. This edition is defined by ambition, depth, and renewal, offering a vivid snapshot of the ever-shifting shape of art today.
