Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami are coming back to Wynwood this December, bringing more than 280 exhibitors and 1,000 artists under one roof at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center from Dec. 2 through Dec. 6, 2026. The concurrent fairs are expected to draw more than 40,000 visitors across more than 150,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space, with organizers this year adding a new twist: a formal nonprofit partnership aimed at helping sick kids across South Florida.
Redwood Art Group announced that the two fairs will return for the 2026 edition of Miami Art Week, as reported by Miami's Community Newspapers. The fairs are set up at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center, located at 2217 NW Fifth Ave. and NW 22nd Street in Miami, and will once again operate as two distinct shows sharing a single venue. According to Miami Living Magazine, this marks Spectrum Miami's 16th year and Red Dot Miami's 21st year in the city.
The Opening Night Preview kicks off the run on Dec. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Mana Wynwood, the same outlet reports, while a VIP and press preview runs earlier that evening from 5 to 6 p.m., per Miami & Miami Beach. Public hours follow Dec. 3 through Dec. 5 from noon to 8 p.m., then wrap up Dec. 6 from noon to 6 p.m.
A New Nonprofit Partner With a Pediatric Focus
This year's fairs carry a charitable component that wasn't part of past editions: Redwood Art Group has introduced Jackson Health Foundation as the official 2026 nonprofit partner, according to the seed facts behind this announcement. Jackson Health Foundation is the private fundraising arm of Jackson Health System, and the partnership is designed to support children and families across the region. Organizers have designated Dec. 3, 2026 as Jackson Health Day, when Holtz Children's Hospital patients, parents, providers and staff will receive a guided tour of Mana Wynwood along with access to special programming.
Ten dollars from each ticket sold to roughly 75,000 invited households will go directly to Holtz Children's Hospital, Miami Living Magazine reports, and attendees will also have the option to make an additional donation to Jackson Health Foundation on top of that. Eric Smith said Redwood welcomes Jackson Health Foundation as a nonprofit partner and that attendees can help thousands of children. The arrangement folds a pediatric fundraising push into what has traditionally been a straightforward art-sales weekend.
What's Inside Each Fair
Spectrum Miami is billed as an upscale, urban curated contemporary art fair featuring more than 200 exhibiting galleries and artists from Florida, across the United States and around the world, drawing more than 40,000 visitors on its own. Its programming includes Art Labs, the Spotlight program and the Discoveries Collection, which prices artwork at $3,000 or less, according to Redwood Art Group.
Red Dot Miami, meanwhile, functions as a curated gallery-only fair featuring international contemporary works from more than 75 galleries representing over 500 artists, also pulling in more than 40,000 visitors. It likewise runs Spotlight Galleries, Art Labs and its own Discoveries Collection, where pieces run $5,000 or less. The two fairs' combined footprint places them among the roughly 20 independently operated major and satellite art fairs that make up Miami Art Week, which runs Nov. 30 through Dec. 6, 2026 across Greater Miami and Miami Beach.
Tickets and Logistics
Opening Night Preview tickets cost $85 per person and include access to every fair date through the weekend. A general admission one-day pass runs $50 and includes the Opening Night Preview plus one additional fair date, but only when purchased online in advance — that online advance-purchase window closes Nov. 15, 2026. All tickets will be delivered as mobile e-tickets, organizers say.
Onsite parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis for $33 plus tax per day, with 10 ADA-compliant parking stalls set aside, per Redwood Art Group's event page. Organizers say the complete 2026 programming schedule for both fairs will be announced in November.
A Crowded Art Week Calendar
Spectrum and Red Dot's December dates land squarely inside a broader citywide push: Miami Art Week draws crowds of art connoisseurs and newcomers from across the globe with galleries, museums and fairs throughout Greater Miami and Miami Beach, according to Miami & Miami Beach. Organizers of the broader week say participating artists and exhibitors gain access to initiatives for art sales, online discovery and year-round engagement through the ARTWEEK platform.
The renewed scale of this year's fairs also arrives amid what dealers and advisers described, per CNBC, as a rebound in the art market after nearly three years of declining auction sales and shuttered galleries. That same report noted Art Basel Miami Beach pulled in more than 80,000 collectors and art fans across more than 280 galleries last December, underscoring just how much foot traffic the citywide art calendar can generate when the market is healthy.
