The 2025 edition introduces a fresh approach and new programming with a focus on Community, Collaboration, and Artist-Led Projects
Miami Beach, FL — November 12, 2025 – Returning to the sands of Miami Beach for its 14th edition – and following a standout inaugural presentation in Houston earlier this year – Untitled Art unveils its 2025 program, reaffirming its position as the leading fair dedicated to community and collaboration. Guided by its mission to evolve the art fair model, the 2025 edition introduces a reimagined format under the direction of Executive Director Clara Andrade Pereira and guest curators Petra Cortright, Allison Glenn, and Jonny Tanna with Harlesden High Street, featuring focused artist presentations, Special Projects, an expanded Nest sector and a new section dedicated to non-profits, and intentional new partnerships. These initiatives build on the fair’s commitment to accessibility and community engagement within the contemporary art market. Challenging conventions in the art fair experience, Untitled Art continues to bridge artistic integrity, curatorial rigor, and collector insight through progressive programming.
This year’s Special Projects sector, guest-curated by Allison Glenn, Artistic Director-at-Large of The Shepherd in Detroit and Curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art, presents art as a resonant cultural experience. This sector welcomes site-specific installations and ambitious projects across the fair and throughout the city. Offering a dynamic approach, inviting exhibitors, organizations, and artists to activate presentations beyond their booths, the sector features eighteen projects for its largest presentation to date. Glenn explores the theme of water as both metaphor and material – its fluidity, fragility, and power as a simultaneous site of connection and crisis. Set against Miami Beach’s shoreline, the sector transforms Untitled Art’s iconic oceanfront tent into an urgent conversation about climate, bodies, and industry. “Untitled Art Special Projects presents an opportunity to engage with artists’ practices as they relate to global waterways, which is one of the guiding frameworks of my current curatorial research,” states Glenn. “The fair’s location on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in proximity to the Caribbean Archipelago and Gulf of Mexico provides an ideal setting for many of the dialogues being presented.” Glenn’s Special Projects sector will also prioritize women-led galleries and organizations, including Other Plans Gallery (New Orleans, LA), JO-HS (Mexico City, MX / New York, NY), and Tulsa Artist Fellowship and Central Standard (Tulsa, OK), and the residency and non-profit incubator Buffalo Prescott (Detroit, MI), underscoring Untitled Art’s dedication to amplifying new and underrepresented voices.
Highlight presentations in the sector include Los Angeles-based artist Cameron Harvey, presented by also woman-led Official Welcome (Los Angeles, CA), featuring a new body of work that reimagines painting through organic form and material. Moving her entire body across unstretched, shaped canvases, Harvey’s paintings consider the limits of her form. Inspired by flora observed and gathered on long walks in Southern California, Harvey sees her paintings as protective bodies that hold space for the viewer to contemplate their own relationship to the present moment, their physical body, and their similarities to other forms in nature. Her Miami debut is significant, as Glenn will also be including a new commission of her work at the highly anticipated Toronto Biennial of Art, opening September 26, 2026.
Additionally, Tiff Massey, representing Tiff Massey Studios (Detroit, MI), will present a new sculptural installation in which Massey reimagines Belle Isle—Detroit’s historic island park—as a sculptural sanctuary that honors the emotional and ancestral gravity of water. Titled Belle Island, the presentation complements Massey’s work currently on view as part of DETROIT SALON at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, a group exhibition of Detroit-based artists. Continuing his exploration of water as both inspiration and medium, Leonel Vásquez’s installation, presented by Casa Hoffmann (Bogotá, CO), centers on sound – amplifying the voices of aquatic landscapes degraded by climate change, industrialization, and armed conflict by paying tribute to rivers that now fall silent. This work builds upon his presentation currently on view as part of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo.
For the first time, the Special Projects sector will extend beyond South Beach, activating Miami’s mainland through a series of large-scale public digital installations presented in partnership with Orange Barrel Media. Through its IKE Smart City platform, Orange Barrel Media will promote Untitled Art, Miami Beach 2025 across its network of digital kiosks throughout Greater Miami and beyond, bringing the curatorial vision of the fair’s Special Projects section into the public sphere. The program features new works by Cristina Molina (presented by Other Plans Gallery, New Orleans, LA), whose practice examines the waterways of the American South, and Kite (Oglála Lakȟóta) (presented by Tulsa Artist Fellowship and Central Standard, Tulsa, OK), whose work interprets the Lakota understanding of the Milky Way as Wakpá Iyóžaŋžaŋ—a river of light that carries loved ones across the sky.
Additional highlights across the sector include a large-scale installation at the entrance of the fair, developed by artist collective Celeste, supported by JO-HS (Mexico City, MX / New York, NY), exploring the cosmos flower’s ability to migrate naturally, following the cycles of water, and Carlos Rolón’s ongoing series of embroidered tarpaulins utilizing salvaged tarps once employed for post-hurricane shelter as a motif of resilience and cultural pride, presented by HEXTON Gallery (Aspen, CO). Meanwhile, Detroit-native Scott Hocking’s work presented by Library Street Collective (Detroit, MI), is created and sourced from a former WWII-era marina in Detroit, forming a layered response to water’s roles in shaping the physical landscapes and histories of labor and ecological transformation. A large-scale, outdoor installation of work from this series is currently on view at The Shepherd in Detroit. Also presenting sculpture, Hugo Blomley’s work’s polished surfaces evoke mechanical and industrial forms while mottled pigments take on an organic appearance; his Special Project is presented by Neon Parc (Melbourne, AU).
The Nest sector, reimagined as a section this year and guest-curated by Jonny Tanna, founder and director of Harlesden High Street and co-founder of Minor Attractions in London, reflects Untitled Art’s dedication to collaboration, supporting emerging voices and fostering greater experimentation. The new Artist Spotlight sector, dedicated to solo presentations and curated by interdisciplinary artist Petra Cortright, amplifies artistic practices that are often underrepresented in art fairs, focusing on digital culture and outsider art. The fair has also launched a new sector for Non-Profit organizations, providing a platform for these spaces within the art fair context while highlighting the role they play in advancing artists' careers.
Strategic alliances include a new partnership with The Agency Art House, led by real estate expert Mauricio Umansky and distinguished art advisor Arushi Kapoor. The fair launches an advisor-led walkthrough program designed to empower and educate a new wave of art collectors. This initiative reflects a shared commitment to making the art fair experience more meaningful, accessible, and inspiring for a new generation of collectors. Daily guided walkthroughs led by senior art advisors will introduce guests to key presentations, market insights, and acquisition strategies, remaining attuned to shifts in the art market, particularly the growing strength of the mid-range sector.

“Untitled Art has always been a place where the established meets the new,” says Clara Andrade Pereira, Executive Director of Untitled Art. “Our 2025 programming in Miami Beach continues to expand that vision, pairing rigorous curatorial thinking with a deep dedication to art, community, and emerging talent. This year's programming reflects an evolving stage for Untitled Art: cultivating a marketplace platform with curatorial intent, creating new opportunities for our galleries and artists through our expansion into a new market, and positioning ourselves as an art fair that drives innovation rather than follows trends.”
Five artist-centric prizes will be awarded, reflecting Untitled Art’s commitment to supporting artists by connecting exhibitors and creators with leading residencies and resources: the newly established Eighth House Residency Prize, offering a two-week summer 2026 residency in Vermont with private studio accommodations, meals, travel, and materials stipend; alongside returning prize partners including the Last Resort Artist Retreat Residency, providing a four-week restorative residency in Baltimore with housing, chef-prepared meals, wellness programming, travel, and a stipend for artists of African descent in the Americas and Carribean; and the CCA Andratx Artist-in-Residence Prize, offering a one-month residency in May 2026 at the renowned CCA Andratx in Mallorca, Spain, including studio space, accommodation, and travel support for the selected artist.
