opening. If you are planning around the fair, this guide sets out the Art Basel Miami dates and schedule: the public days, the preview and VIP days, and how the wider Miami Art Week fits around the main fair. (New to it all? Start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/what-art-basel-miami\">what Art Basel Miami is<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Art_Basel_Miami_2026_dates\"><\/span>Art Basel Miami 2026 dates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 edition takes place December 4 to 6, 2026, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Those are the public days, when ticket holders can visit the fair floor. Art Basel Miami Beach is held in the first week of December every year, so future editions fall in the same early-December window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preview_and_VIP_days_versus_public_days\"><\/span>Preview and VIP days versus public days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fair opens before the public days with preview and VIP days, which are by invitation only. These are when collectors, press, and VIP guests get first access and when much of the serious buying happens. The public days follow, open to anyone with a ticket. Official preview-day timings are confirmed closer to the fair on the Art Basel website, so check there for the exact preview schedule for the current year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"39553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/art-basel-miami-beach.jpg\" alt=\"An artist at work during Art Basel Miami, the kind of live activation brands stage at the fair\" class=\"wp-image-39553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/art-basel-miami-beach.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/art-basel-miami-beach-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"43287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hs-historymiami-museum.jpg\" alt=\"Artwork on display inside a historic Miami venue during Art Basel Miami\" class=\"wp-image-43287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hs-historymiami-museum.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hs-historymiami-museum-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Miami_Art_Week_fits_around_the_fair\"><\/span>How Miami Art Week fits around the fair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Art Basel is the anchor, but it sits inside a wider stretch known as Miami Art Week, which runs from the Tuesday before the main fair through the following weekend. The satellite fairs, including Design Miami, Untitled Art, NADA Miami, Scope, Art Miami and Context, Pinta, and Prizm, open across that week alongside gallery shows and parties. For where they all sit across the city, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorefront.com\/mag\/art-basel-miami-venue-location-map\">Art Basel Miami venues and locations<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Planning_your_days_at_the_fair\"><\/span>Planning your days at the fair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a preview invitation, the early days are the quietest and the best for buying. Otherwise, pick a public day and build an itinerary around it, leaving time for one or two satellite fairs.
