Signature Art Week Fairs Become The Big Picture

Signature art fairs are making a major return for Art Basel and Miami Art Week, bringing an expansive lineup of creativity across the city.

The Tribeca Festival celebrates its fourth Miami edition with two nights of live performances at the Miami Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave. Presented by Google Gemini, the program blends art, music, and storytelling through cross-genre performances and conversations.

This year spotlights emerging artists reshaping contemporary culture. On Friday, Dec. 5, Bogotá-based, Latin Grammy-nominated ensemble Monsieur Periné will bring their distinctive blend of Latin swing and pop. On Saturday, Dec. 6, instrumental duo Hermanos Gutiérrez will take the stage with their cinematic sound. Details: tribecafilm.com/miami

Tribeca and ESPN will also co-host an invitation-only preview of two new short films highlighting stories at the intersection of sports and the Latino community, followed by a director conversation moderated by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Rudy Valdez.

The REVOLT Art Fair returns to Ice Palace Studios, 71 NW 14th St., celebrating Black and Brown creativity from Dec. 4–6. Featuring work from more than 50 Black artists, the fair centers on the curatorial theme “Dual Currency: Define by Design,” exploring how Black creativity sets the terms, defines the market, and drives the cultural economy.

Beginning Dec. 5, Art With Me launches its two-night program at the RC Cola Plant + Green Space at Mana Wynwood, 318 NW 23rd St. In partnership with Zamna and Disco Presents, the festival will offer two days of music, art, and immersive cultural experiences during Art Basel and Miami Art Week.

Now in its fourth year, Art With Me Miami will turn Mana Wynwood into a walkable, multisensory playground built around six pillars: Art, Dance, Breathe, Play, Care, and Eat. Set within industrial architecture enriched with green spaces, the festival features large-scale installations, wellness activations, culinary offerings, family activities, and curated music stages.
