About Aqua Art Miami 2026
Aqua Art Miami turns the rooms, rooftop, and courtyard of the Aqua Hotel at 1530 Collins Avenue into the week's boutique fair — its 20th year of hotel-room booths where emerging and mid-career work gets seen at human scale. The VIP preview runs Wednesday, December 2 from 3–10pm; public days run Thursday noon–9pm, Friday–Saturday 11am–9pm, and Sunday 11am–6pm.
It's the fair collectors describe as where you find work before the market does — and in 2026 artist Michael Gitter builds a life-sized tree sculpture in the courtyard. Note the house rules: no large bags, suitcases, or strollers inside.
2026 highlights
- 20th year; artist Michael Gitter creating a life-sized tree sculpture in the courtyard

Getting there
The Aqua Hotel is at 1530 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach — across from the Loews and a short walk south of the Art Basel district. Collins runs slow during Art Week, so a timed drop at the door is the move; your chauffeur stages nearby and returns on your text.
The fair's multi-day and VIP tickets cross-honor Art Miami and CONTEXT at One Herald Plaza — a mainland pairing your chauffeur covers in one causeway run.
From the fair's own visitor notes: On Collins Avenue across from the Loews Hotel, a short walk south of the Art Basel Miami Beach district. Large bags, suitcases, and strollers are not permitted inside. Fair recommends Brightline for arrivals from out of town.
Where to stay
You're in the middle of it: Collins Avenue and the surrounding South Beach blocks keep Aqua, Untitled, InScope, and Art Basel all within minutes. We also run daily loops for guests staying in Brickell, Coral Gables, and Fort Lauderdale.
