Art Basel Miami Beach 2025: Where the Pulse of the Americas Meets the World Stage

The 23rd edition of Art Basel Miami Beach returns to the Miami Beach Convention Center from December 5–7, 2025 (Preview Days: December 3–4), bringing together 283 leading galleries from 43 countries, with UBS as Global Lead Partner. This year’s edition foregrounds the voices, histories, and innovations that define the American art scene today—within a truly global conversation.

“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 of Art Basel Miami Beach. “In 2025, we bring together exceptional galleries, artists, and patrons in an environment defined by rigor, exchange, and possibility.”

From Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic practices to emerging digital forms, this year’s fair re-examines Modernism through a trans-hemispheric lens, tracing how artists across the Americas continue to remap the canon and reshape global artistic imagination.

Across its core sectors — Galleries, Positions, Nova, and Survey — the fair showcases work of the highest caliber, reflecting Art Basel’s deepened commitment to curatorial excellence, geographic breadth, and historical rediscovery.

Highlights include:

• Meridians, curated by Yasmil Raymond, returns as the curatorial epicenter with the theme The Shape of Time, exploring how artists stretch, distort, and embody temporal experience.
• A revitalized Conversations program gathers artists, collectors, and thinkers for three days of live debate and visionary exchange—opening with a full day devoted to art and sport, and featuring the return of daily Digital Dialogues.
• The debut of Zero 10, curated by Eli Scheinman, introduces a new platform for digital-era art. Presented with the support of OpenSea, it connects leading and next-generation artists, studios, galleries, and digital innovators within Art Basel’s global ecosystem, setting a new benchmark for exhibiting, contextualizing, and collecting digital art today.
• The Art Basel Awards, presented in partnership with BOSS, make their U.S. debut, honoring 11 outstanding practitioners and institutions with the inaugural Gold Awards on December 4.

With a new constellation of partnerships spanning fashion, design, technology, and hospitality, Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 reaffirms the fair’s role as a catalyst for creative exchange and cultural innovation — where histories are re-examined, boundaries blurred, and new voices rise to meet the future.
