Within the 150,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space, both of these sister shows highlight a vast menagerie of artwork, styles and mediums from artists across the globe, including paintings, photography, sculpture, multimedia installations and more. It’s a diverse and vibrant feast for the eyes everywhere you turn. Celebrating its 13th year, urban/upscale Spectrum Miami is a curated contemporary art fair showcasing independent career artists, studios and younger galleries, while Red Dot Miami is a curated gallery-only contemporary art fair featuring more than 65 galleries. Red Dot is now in its 18th year.

“We’re pleased to return to Mana Wynwood for what we expect to be an exceptionally busy Miami Art Week,” says Eric Smith, president of Redwood Art Group. “Last year, we saw an attendance of more than 40,000 art enthusiasts and industry leaders, and we anticipate this year’s show to exceed that. Exhibitor space at both Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami has been in such high demand this year that we have been sold out since August, which is unprecedented…We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to five days of eclectic art and discovery, with a couple of surprises in store.”
