Buckle up, it’s going to be a busy week.

Miami Art Week is the pinnacle of the U.S. art fair calendar, with much of the world’s collectors descending on Miami Beach for a whirlwind of fairs, gallery shows, museum exhibitions, public art installations, and much, much more. It’s an overwhelming sea of options, complicated by the very real limitations of time, geography, and, increasingly as the week goes on, traffic. So what’s actually worth seeing this year? Here’s our list of what we’re most excited about as the hectic conclusion to the 2025 art season ramps up. Cheers, Miami!

Acid Bath House” at Nina Johnson
December 1, 2025–February 7, 2026

Nina Johnson is staging a wild group show, curated by Jarrett Earnest, featuring queer erotic psychedelia by the likes of Juliana Huxtable, TM Davy, and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. It’s a big moment for the dealer, long a respected fixture of the local gallery scene, as she participates in the main fair at the convention center for the first time. Johnson’s Art Basel booth features two topiary lamps by sculptor Katie Stout, a monumental painting by Nathlie Provosty, and other works by Rochelle Feinstein, Dara Friedman, and George Nelson Preston, among others.

Nina Johnson is located at 6315 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida.
