Amazing Miami Art Galleries

Greater Miami and Miami Beach has solidified its place in the international art world, especially since Art Basel Miami landed in 2002. But outside of the destination’s prominent art institutions, there are also exciting gallery powerhouses meant for collectors and those who simply love art. Whether you desire to check out the heavy hitters of art, be in the know of emerging artists or watch artists create in their studios, here are some amazing Miami art galleries to visit.

Fredric Snitzer Gallery

1540 NE Miami Ct, Miami, FL 33132

Fredric Snitzer is a long-regarded powerful voice in Miami’s art gallery scene, opening his eponymous gallery in Coral Gables in the 1970s. Fun fact: It’s the only Miami art space to show in every edition of Art Basel Miami since its inception. Fredric Snitzer Gallery is located on the outskirts of Downtown Miami in Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District.

Snitzer’s impressive roster of artists includes pieces by Hernan Bas, Deborah Brown and Kenny Scharf. Snitzer always keeps things interesting with at least 8 rotating exhibitions annually. There’s a bonus for those looking to visit: There’s street parking near the gallery.

Mindy Solomon Gallery

848 NW 22nd St, Miami, FL 33127

Tucked away in the art-rich Allapattah neighborhood, you’ll find Mindy Solomon Gallery, the namesake gallery of one of Miami’s art pioneers. Solomon focuses on contemporary emerging and well-established artists, some that she meets on her worldly travels, and highlights diasporic voices. At the gallery, you’ll see everything from paintings and sculptures to photography and even video. Solomon is often around to give visitors an inside take on current works and why she chose those particular artists for her gallery.

Wyn 317

4320 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127

In the art and mural mecca of Wynwood, you’ll find Wyn 317, a welcoming gallery created in 2013 by 2 sisters, Michele and Danelle Pino. Their goal has always been to spotlight emerging, mid-career and established artists, and everything here feels authentically Miami. You’ll find works ranging from graffiti to pop art, and with the gallery’s indoor and outdoor spaces, exhibitions and events are always a hit.

Oolite Arts

924 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139

When you’re strolling down Lincoln Road in South Beach, add Oolite Arts to your day of shopping and dining. While it’s been a fixture of contemporary art since the early ‘80s, many visitors don’t know about it. It’s free to pop in to see current exhibitions (and maybe even artists working in their studios). They even offer art classes. 

Oolite Arts has plans to move its campus to Little River sometime in mid-2026, where it will feature artist studios, exhibition and theater spaces, a maker space, a print shop and classrooms.

Bakehouse Art Complex

561 NW 32nd St, Miami, FL 33127

Look for the colorful exterior of Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood, and you’ll be treated to a world of incredible art set in a transformed, Art Deco-era industrial bakery. The non-profit arts organization has been around for 40 years, and its indoor and outdoor spaces are free to visit year-round. Their mission is to provide affordable studios (and eventually housing) for artists, and they have a community of more than 100 artists.

In addition to art exhibits on view, depending on your timing, you may be able to see the artists at work in their studios. Otherwise, check out their Open Studios, where you can meet with the artists. Here’s another cool tip: There’s a free bookstore on-site.
