Greater Miami & Miami Beach is a dynamic destination for art and culture in large part thanks to its thriving and ever-changing contemporary gallery scene. While the mural-splashed neighborhood of Wynwood was once the epicenter, new areas continue to emerge and evolve, from Little Haiti to Downtown Miami, South Beach and beyond. From artist incubators (which offer nurturing environments for small and emerging arts organizations) to tech-driven exhibitions, blue chip pop art and the most provocative emerging talent, Miami is filled with fascinating art galleries ripe for exploration.

Oolite Arts

A mainstay on Lincoln Road in South Beach since 1984, Art Center/South Florida has transformed into Oolite Arts, one of the longest-running artist studio and exhibition spaces in Miami. With its new name will soon come a new space and a move to Little Haiti. During this transitional period, the South Beach location remains open and home to 14 artist residents plus public programming. Oolite Arts also opened a satellite space near the upcoming campus, where it’s already immersing itself in the community.

Bakehouse Art Complex

A pioneer of Miami’s art scene, Bakehouse Art Complex arrived in Wynwood in 1985 when a group of artists transformed a former industrial Art Deco-era bakery into a 2.3-acre campus. Today, it’s the working home of 100 Miami-based artists with studio space, two galleries, a classroom, a print room, a photography lab, ceramics facilities, and woodworking and welding areas along with dynamic exhibitions and programming open to the public.

Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator

With a gallery space near Morningside Park, Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator is dedicated to emerging artists from the Caribbean and Latin diaspora through artist residencies, international cultural exchanges, educational programming and exhibitions. Its dynamic programming spans virtual art fairs with a mission, in partnership with other local cultural organizations, to make collecting art more accessible.

Fredric Snitzer Gallery

Fredric Snitzer opened his eponymous gallery in Coral Gables in the 1970s, making him a true trailblazer of Miami’s gallery scene. Today, his gallery in Downtown Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District is one of the only Miami galleries to show at Art Basel Miami Beach year after year. Snitzer’s impressive roster of artists includes Hernan Bas, Alice Aycock, Kenny Scharf, Luis Gispert and Ernesto Oroza.

Eden Gallery

With a prime location on Collins Avenue in South Beach, Eden Gallery is a bright, airy space filled with work by blockbuster contemporary and pop artists, including Alec Monopoly, Gal Yosef and Eduardo Kobra. Works here have a touch of whimsy and range from sculpture to paintings and mixed media.

Avant Gallery

With locations at Brickell City Centre and Aventura Mall as well as in New York City, Avant Gallery’s curatorial program skews towards contemporary and pop art, representing the paintings and sculpture work of well-known street artists, from Dain to Skyler Grey, BNS and Tim Tadder.
