'''Miami Art Week''' is a series of art-related fairs, events and showings anchored by [Art Basel Miami Beach](/source/Art_Basel_Miami_Beach) and that takes place in early December in the Miami area. It is considered the premiere period for contemporary art activity in the United States.<ref name="Sokol-2019">{{Cite news |last=Sokol |first=Brett |date=2019-11-29 |title=Art Basel Miami, Where Big Money Meets Bigger Money |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/29/arts/design/art-basel-miami.html |access-date=2025-06-22 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> It has taken place every year since 2002, with the exception of 2020, when the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) resulted in its cancellation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Miller |first=M.

* [SCOPE Miami Beach](/source/SCOPE_Art_Show), staged annually in a pavilion on South Beach since the early 2010s, hosts around 100 international exhibitors and public programming under the banner “The New Contemporary.”<ref>{{cite web |last=Wood |first=Falyn |title=SCOPE Miami Beach 2019 |url=https://www.timeout.com/miami/things-to-do/scope-miami-beach-2019 |website=Time Out Miami |date=22 October 2019 |access-date=17 August 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Scope Art Show Returns to Miami With a Focus on Collaboration |url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/scope-art-fair-2024-2555891 |website=Artnet News |date=22 October 2024 |access-date=17 August 2025}}</ref>

== History ==
Art Basel Miami Beach launched in 2002, catalyzing numerous other art fair and events. Local Miami art collectors, including Don and Mera Rubell, worked to convince the Switzerland-based Art Basel fair organizers and local Florida government officials that Miami was a logical stop in the art world circuit.<ref name="Sokol-2019" /> The inaugural Miami fair was originally scheduled for 2001, but was delayed after the [9/11](/source/September_11_attacks) attacks.
