Wynwood’s Art Week Alternative to the Convention Center Crowds
Miami Art Week, which runs November 30 to December 6, includes about 20 major and satellite fairs across Greater Miami and Miami Beach. The high-end fairs on Miami Beach get most of the attention. Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami have taken a different approach for years: they focus on independent artists, studios, and smaller galleries, with prices that first-time collectors can afford.
Redwood Art Group runs the two as separate fairs under one roof. That lets visitors move from emerging work by independent artists to a curated gallery fair without leaving Wynwood. Together, the fairs feature more than 280 exhibitors, about 1,000 artists, and about 75 galleries representing primary and secondary art markets.
Spectrum Miami Focuses on Independent and Emerging Artists
Spectrum Miami describes itself as an urban contemporary fair. It features independent artists, studios, and younger galleries from Florida, across the U.S., and abroad. Its [SOLO] section gives individual artists, both emerging and established, their own space instead of placing them only through gallery booths.
The fair’s curated programs include Art Labs, which presents site-specific installations, the Spotlight Program, and the Discoveries Collection of works priced under $3,000. Returning Spectrum Miami exhibitors include Jason Perez Art, Alfano Sculpture, Elidea Art, Mathilda Martin Art, Ferrand Fine Art, MCP2 Art Studio, Re D’Italia Art, and Easton Art Galleries.
Red Dot Miami Brings a Gallery-Only Format
Red Dot Miami is the gallery-focused side of the pair. It features international contemporary work from more than 75 galleries representing more than 500 artists. Like Spectrum Miami, it runs Spotlight Galleries and Art Labs projects, and its Discoveries Collection includes works priced at $5,000 or less.
Returning Red Dot Miami exhibitors include K-Art Projects USA, Artavita/World Wide Art, Gebhardt Gallery, Perseus Gallery, End to End Gallery, The Gallery Steiner, SAB Gallery, and Famespace. With so many returning galleries, Red Dot Miami’s 21st edition draws on long relationships with dealers who come back to Wynwood every December.
Jackson Health Foundation Partnership Adds a Community Mission
The new element in 2026 is the partnership with Jackson Health Foundation, the private fundraising arm of Jackson Health System. For the first time, Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami have an official nonprofit partner leading fundraising for pediatric care across South Florida.
The fundraising works in several ways. $10 from each ticket sold to about 75,000 invited households goes directly to Holtz Children’s Hospital. Other visitors can add a donation when they buy tickets. On Thursday, December 3, designated Jackson Health Day, patients, families, providers, and staff from Holtz Children’s Hospital will tour the venue and take part in special programming. Members of the foundation’s Guardian Angels and Golden Angel Society will also attend events during the week.
For MiamiWire readers, the partnership links the Art Week market to a local hospital that serves families across Miami-Dade County, so money spent at the fairs supports care for children in the community.
