The Best Art Shows to See in Miami, December 2025
These exhibitions go on well past Art Week.
Should you be willing to brave the traffic, crowds, and gimmicks that come with Miami Art Week, there is some actual art to see around town over the next few days. Some of it is even sticking around for a bit after the chaos, in case you don’t want to brave the traffic and the crowds and so on. Here, in chronological order by opening, are our picks for the best art shows to see during Miami Art Week and throughout December. Unless otherwise noted, events are free to attend and open to the public.
“Acid Bath House,” / Dara Friedman / Emmett Moore at Nina Johnson
Nina Johnson is supplying a heavy dose of “Acid” this Art Week with a group show delving into queer culture. “Acid Bath House” features work by more than two dozen artists, including big names like Juliana Huxtable and the legendary Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. The show is paired with a pair of presentations by two high-profile local artists: Emmett Moore will show custom-made functional outdoor sculptures in “Neon Sun,” while Dara Friedman will present more than a dozen new works in “Star People.” All three shows open Monday, December 1, and run through February 7, 2026.
