TD Bank Curated Spotlight at NADA Miami 2025, Curated by Kate Wong

The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is pleased to announce TD Bank Curated Spotlight, a special section at NADA Miami 2025 curated by Kate Wong, curator, writer, and researcher based in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the 23rd edition of the fair, Curated Spotlight will feature five presentations from exhibiting galleries.

Now in its sixth year, the NADA x TD Bank Curated Spotlight program has become a highlight of both NADA Miami and NADA New York. Introduced in 2021, it invites galleries and artists to collaborate with a curator to develop special presentations for the fair. Past curators include Jasmine Wahi, Ebony L. Haynes, Kendra Jayne Patrick, Joeonna Belloarado-Samuels, Simon Wu, and Jenée-Daria Strand.

2025 Participants:
Devin N. Morris (EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, New York)
Ana Alenso and Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck (El Consulado, New York)
Faith Icecold (ROMANCE, Pittsburgh)
Mahari Chabwera (Southside Contemporary Art Gallery, Richmond, VA)
Marissa Delano (Spill 180, New York)

Wong explained that this year’s Curated Spotlight focuses on galleries adopting nontraditional approaches to supporting artists, expanding their role beyond exhibitions and sales to include resources, programming, and community infrastructure.

The 23rd edition of NADA Miami will be held from December 2–6, 2025 at Ice Palace Studios, presenting nearly 140 galleries, art spaces, and nonprofit organizations from 30 countries and 65 cities. The fair will also introduce ECOLOGIES, a new public program and performance series organized in partnership with the Knight Foundation, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), and CULTURED.

TD Bank continues its support of emerging talent through this initiative. As Paige Carlson-Heim, Head of Social Impact at TD Bank, stated:

“TD is proud to support NADA at Miami Art Week, celebrating diverse talent in contemporary art. The TD Curated Spotlight provides opportunities for artists and gallerists facing barriers within the arts sector.”
