Miami Beach, FL —November 12, 2026— Artnet and Untitled Art announce Artnet Airwaves, a two-day live podcast festival taking place at Untitled Art, Miami Beach, on December 2–3, 2026. Bringing together five leading art-world podcasts, the festival will feature lively conversations on contemporary art, criticism, and the art market, recorded in front of an audience at one of Miami Art Week’s marquee fairs.
The program brings Artnet’s two podcasts, The Art Angle and Art Market Minute, together with three guest podcasts, Bad at Sports, Nota Bene, and NewCrits, for a series of live recordings featuring artists, critics, and other voices shaping the conversation around art today. Highlights include an episode of Art Market Minute with Patricia Garcia-Vélez Hanna of the Jorge M. Pérez Foundation collection and NewCrits, hosted by Ajay Kurian with artist Emmanuel L. Desir.
Taking place during the 15th edition of Untitled Art, Miami Beach, Artnet Airwaves reflects the fair's longstanding commitment to conversations, performance, and critical exchange, bringing together five leading art podcasts for two days of live recording sessions.
Artnet Airwaves invites the Miami Art Week crowd to experience firsthand the lively conversations and fresh perspectives that these leading voices in art and culture bring to their podcasts each week. The festival will be hosted by Artnet News’ national art critic Ben Davis and news editor Margaret Carrigan, with Sonia Manalili serving as executive producer. Each recording will be followed by an audience Q&A.
The full lineup is as follows:
Wednesday, December 2
2 pm–3 pm: Bad at Sports, hosted by Duncan MacKenzie and Brian Andrews
4 pm–5 pm: The Art Angle, hosted by Ben Davis
Thursday, December 3
12 pm–1 pm: NewCrits, hosted by Ajay Kurian with artist Emmanuel L. Desir
2 pm–3 pm: Nota Bene, hosted by Benjamin Godsill and James Michael Shaeffer Jr.
4 pm–5 pm: Art Market Minute, hosted by Margaret Carrigan with Patricia Garcia-Vélez Hanna, director of the Jorge M. Pérez Collection / El Espacio 23
The five podcasts offer distinct perspectives on art and culture broadly. Hosted by Duncan MacKenzie and Brian Andrews, Bad at Sports mixes contemporary art conversations with humor and philosophical provocation. Nota Bene, hosted by Benjamin Godsill and James Michael Shaeffer Jr., takes an insider look at the personalities and happenings of the art world, while Ajay Kurian’s NewCrits explores creative practice and the forces shaping artistic life. Artnet’s own The Art Angle takes listeners behind the biggest stories in art, while Art Market Minute delivers a concise weekly roundup of essential market news.
All five episodes will be released following the fair across Artnet’s podcast, editorial, video, and social platforms, as well as on the fair’s podcast platform, the Untitled Podcast, bringing the conversations to audiences beyond Miami Beach.
Sonia Manalili, executive producer at Artnet, said of the origins of Airwaves, “I had been meeting other art world podcasters, and it struck me how much more we’d have to say to one another in one room. When you’re making these shows, it often feels like the content disappears into a void. You hope that your show is encouraging more of a conversation. And when a listener told me, after a live recording last year, that she didn’t have anyone to discuss the episodes with, I saw that as an opportunity. Airwaves is a place where that exchange between host and listener can become a real discussion.”
“We introduced the Untitled Podcast seven years ago so that conversations taking place at the fair could reach a wider audience and remain accessible beyond fair week. Partnering with Artnet to bring five of the art world’s most influential podcasts together at the fair is an exciting next step for the program. This is a unique opportunity for our visitors to hear from these leading voices and join the conversation about the ideas shaping contemporary art today,” said Clara Andrade Pereira, Executive Director, Untitled Art.
The 15th edition of Untitled Art, Miami Beach takes place December 2–6, 2026, on the sands of Miami Beach at Ocean Drive and 12th Street. A VIP and press preview will be held on Tuesday, December 1. Airwaves is part of the fair’s broader program of live conversations, performances, tours, and events. A pass to Untitled Art, Miami Beach is required to attend Artnet Airwaves sessions.
