Art Basel Miami Venues and Locations

Art Basel Miami Beach is centered on one building, but the fair spreads across the city through its satellite fairs and events. This guide maps the Art Basel Miami venues: where the main fair is, where the satellite fairs set up, and how far apart the key areas sit. (New to the fair? See what Art Basel Miami is.)

The main venue: Miami Beach Convention Center

The fair itself is held at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 1901 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach. Everything else during the week orbits this building, and proximity to it is part of what makes Miami Beach the most expensive area to take space during fair week.

Where the satellite fairs set up

The satellite fairs spread the week across the city. In recent editions Design Miami has set up next to the convention center; Untitled Art and Scope have run beachside pavilions in South Beach; NADA Miami has shown at Ice Palace Studios at 1400 North Miami Avenue in Downtown; and Art Miami and Context have been at One Herald Plaza, also Downtown. Pinta and Prizm program around the city as well. Venues can move year to year, so confirm the current location of any fair you plan to visit.

How far apart the areas are

Distances from the convention center help you plan drive times during a busy week. Wynwood is about three miles north, ten to fifteen minutes by car. The Design District is about five miles northwest, fifteen to twenty minutes. Downtown is roughly three and a half miles west over the MacArthur Causeway. Little Haiti sits about seven miles north and Allapattah about four miles west. Traffic during fair week is heavy, so build in extra time.

Choosing where to base yourself

If you are exhibiting, the zone you choose shapes your audience and cost, so it is worth comparing areas in the Art Basel Miami neighborhoods guide. If you are visiting, see what to expect at Art Basel Miami for how to plan your route through the week.
