Miami Art Week™ Exhibitor Agreement
Executive Summary
The Miami Art Week™ Exhibitor Agreement – Terms & Conditions of Participation establishes the policies, responsibilities, and legal framework governing participation in exhibitions, art fairs, festivals, competitions, educational programs, media initiatives, and related activities organized, produced, managed, licensed, or administered by Miami Art Week, LLC and its affiliated companies (collectively, the "Organizer"), including arteNXT™, photoMIAMI®, Art Coral Gables®, ARTWEEK™ Magazine, ARTWEEK™ digital platforms, and other affiliated exhibitions, festivals, and programs.
This Agreement is designed to create a professional, transparent, and mutually beneficial relationship between Miami Art Week™ and its Exhibitors while protecting the rights, intellectual property, brands, business operations, sponsors, partners, artists, galleries, collectors, visitors, volunteers, contractors, and the Organizer.
Participation
Participation begins with the submission of an application and becomes effective only after written acceptance by the Organizer. Acceptance is based on curatorial review, artistic merit, exhibition objectives, and available exhibition space. Acceptance into one Event does not guarantee acceptance into future Events.
Accepted Exhibitors agree to comply with the Exhibitor Agreement, Exhibitor Manual, Event Guidelines, payment schedules, and any additional written policies issued by the Organizer.
Exhibition Space
Exhibition space is assigned based on the selected exhibition package, curatorial planning, and overall exhibition design. While Exhibitor preferences are considered whenever possible, specific locations cannot be guaranteed.
The Organizer reserves the right to modify floor plans, exhibition layouts, artwork placement, and exhibition logistics when reasonably necessary to ensure the quality, safety, and successful operation of the Event.
Fees and Payments
Exhibitors are responsible for paying all applicable exhibition fees according to the published payment schedule.
Unless otherwise stated, exhibition fees are non-refundable. Under certain circumstances, the Organizer may issue a partial refund or future event credit if exhibition space is successfully reassigned.
Exhibition Operations
Exhibitors are responsible for delivering artwork that is professionally prepared and exhibition-ready. Depending on the Event, Miami Art Week™ may provide professional installation services or require Exhibitors to install their own work in accordance with published guidelines.
Exhibitors are expected to maintain professional displays throughout the Event, comply with installation and removal schedules, and follow all Venue regulations and safety requirements.
Exhibitor Responsibilities
Exhibitors are responsible for complying with applicable laws, Venue requirements, safety regulations, accessibility requirements, tax obligations, customs requirements, and Organizer policies.
Exhibitors are also responsible for obtaining any licenses, permits, approvals, or governmental authorizations required for their participation and for ensuring that all personnel, representatives, contractors, and participating minors acting on their behalf comply with the Agreement.
Artist Rights
Miami Art Week™ strongly supports the creative and commercial rights of artists.
Exhibitors retain:
100% ownership of their Artwork
100% copyright in their submitted and exhibited work
100% of proceeds from Artwork sales (unless otherwise stated for a specific program)
Miami Art Week™ does not acquire ownership of exhibited Artwork and does not charge commissions on Artwork sales unless expressly stated for a specific Event.
Sales
Artwork sales are conducted directly between Exhibitors and purchasers.
Miami Art Week™ is not an art dealer, broker, payment processor, or escrow agent and assumes no responsibility for payment collection, shipping arrangements, authenticity disputes, taxes, warranties, or post-sale obligations.
Intellectual Property
Exhibitors retain ownership of their Artwork, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property while granting Miami Art Week™ a limited promotional Content License to reproduce submitted materials in connection with Event promotion, publications, websites, social media, educational programming, media coverage, historical archives, and related Organizer activities.
The Organizer retains exclusive ownership of its trademarks, logos, brands, publications, digital platforms, and other Organizer Intellectual Property. Participation in an Event does not transfer ownership of either party's intellectual property.
Content License
To promote Events effectively, Miami Art Week™ uses Exhibitor Materials across its websites, catalogs, social media, advertising, press releases, educational programming, and official media partnerships.
Once these materials have been lawfully published, they may also be archived, indexed, cached, or redistributed by independent third parties such as news organizations, search engines, libraries, and social media platforms. As a result, copies may remain publicly available even after the Event has concluded or after content has been removed from platforms under the Organizer's direct control.
Photography & Media
Organizer, accredited media, sponsors, and authorized photographers or videographers may photograph, film, livestream, or otherwise record the Event for promotional, editorial, educational, documentary, historical, and archival purposes.
Whenever reasonably practical, Miami Art Week™ will provide appropriate artist attribution when reproducing Artwork.
Insurance & Liability
Exhibitors are responsible for insuring their own Artwork, equipment, and personal property during transportation, installation, exhibition, storage, and return shipment.
Although Miami Art Week™ may provide general Event security, Exhibitors remain responsible for protecting and insuring their own property.
Participation in the Event is undertaken at the Exhibitor's own risk, and the Organizer's liability is limited as provided in the Agreement.
Cancellation & Force Majeure
Miami Art Week™ reserves the right to postpone, relocate, modify, suspend, shorten, or cancel an Event when circumstances beyond its reasonable control make it necessary, including natural disasters, severe weather, pandemics, governmental actions, public safety concerns, labor disruptions, utility failures, transportation interruptions, or other force majeure events.
Where appropriate, the Organizer may issue refunds or future event credits after deducting documented, non-recoverable Event expenses.
Privacy
Miami Art Week™ collects Exhibitor information solely for administering Events, communicating with participants, promoting exhibitions, and maintaining exhibition records.
Personal information is never sold to third parties and is shared only with trusted contractors, technology providers, cloud service providers, payment processors, media partners, and other service providers as reasonably necessary to administer and promote the Event.
Professional Conduct
Miami Art Week™ is committed to maintaining a welcoming, inclusive, and professional environment.
All Exhibitors, artists, staff, contractors, sponsors, volunteers, media representatives, and guests are expected to conduct themselves with professionalism and respect. Harassment, discrimination, unsafe behavior, or conduct that disrupts the Event may result in removal without refund.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida and includes provisions addressing venue, arbitration, limitation of liability, indemnification, notices, amendments, and other standard legal protections.
Commitment to Excellence
Miami Art Week™ is dedicated to presenting professionally curated exhibitions that celebrate artistic excellence while supporting the creative, intellectual property, and commercial interests of participating artists and Exhibitors.
The Exhibitor Agreement establishes a transparent framework designed to protect artists, galleries, exhibitors, visitors, sponsors, partners, and the Organizer while supporting professionally curated exhibitions, educational programming, media initiatives, and other cultural activities presented under the Miami Art Week™ and ARTWEEK™ family of brands.

SECTION 8 — Ownership of Artwork and Intellectual Property 8.1 Ownership Exhibitor retains all copyrights and ownership interests in Artwork and Exhibitor Materials submitted to Organizer.
Nothing contained in this Agreement transfers ownership of any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property belonging to either Exhibitor or Organizer except as expressly provided herein.
About the Content License (Plain-English Explanation) When Exhibitor participates in Miami Art Week™, Organizer promotes Exhibitor's Artwork, Exhibitor Materials, gallery, biography, and related information through Organizer's websites, digital platforms, social media channels, press releases, catalogs, email communications, advertising, and official media, marketing, and promotional partners.
Once these materials have been lawfully published or distributed as part of the Event, they may also be reproduced, shared, archived, indexed, cached, or redistributed by independent third parties beyond Organizer's reasonable control, including news organizations, media outlets, search engines, libraries, social media platforms, and other online services. As a result, copies may remain publicly available even after the Event has concluded or after Organizer removes content from platforms under its direct control.
For these reasons, Organizer requires Exhibitor to grant the Content License described in Section 8.2. The Content License does not transfer ownership of Exhibitor's Artwork, copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property. Exhibitor retains ownership of its intellectual property. The license simply permits Organizer and its authorized partners to use Exhibitor Materials for the promotional, educational, editorial, documentary, historical, and archival purposes described in this Agreement without the need to obtain additional permission for each use.
Organizer may remove Exhibitor Materials from websites and digital platforms under its direct control where appropriate. However, Organizer cannot control, require the removal of, or accept responsibility for copies that have been lawfully published, archived, indexed, cached, or redistributed by independent third parties.
Questions regarding this Content License may be directed to Exhibitor Services at exhibitorservices@miamiartweek.org or legal@miamiartweek.org.
8.2 Content License Exhibitor grants Organizer, together with its affiliates, sponsors, media partners, licensees, successors, assigns, and authorized representatives, a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to reproduce, publish, distribute, display, perform, exhibit, stream, transmit, make available on demand, archive, synchronize, promote, broadcast, webcast, podcast, digitally exhibit, and otherwise use Exhibitor Materials in any media now known or later developed for purposes including:
Event promotion; future Events and affiliated exhibitions, festivals, media festivals, competitions, publications, educational programming, digital platforms, and other Organizer programs; advertising; websites; social media; press releases; catalogs; educational programming; archival documentation; publications; editorial coverage; and other promotional or informational purposes relating to Miami Art Week™ and its affiliated programs. Organizer may sublicense these rights to official media partners, sponsors, printers, publishers, marketing agencies, broadcasters, and contractors engaged in producing or promoting the Event.
No additional compensation shall be due to Exhibitor for such use.
Internet Publishing and Third-Party Distribution Miami Art Week™ can manage and, where appropriate, update or remove Exhibitor Materials from websites and digital platforms under its direct control. However, once Exhibitor Materials have been lawfully published or distributed as part of the Event, they may also be reproduced, archived, indexed, cached, or redistributed by independent third parties, including news organizations, media outlets, search engines, libraries, social media platforms, and other online services. Because these third parties operate independently of Miami Art Week™, Organizer cannot control or require the removal of such content and shall not be responsible for its continued availability or distribution by third parties beyond Organizer's reasonable control.
8.3 Representations Exhibitor represents and warrants that:
Exhibitor owns or controls all necessary copyrights and permissions relating to Exhibitor Materials; Organizer's use of Exhibitor Materials as authorized herein will not infringe the rights of any third party; and all necessary permissions, releases, and licenses have been obtained. Exhibitor agrees to indemnify Organizer against claims arising from any breach of these warranties.
Exhibitor acknowledges that Organizer relies upon the foregoing warranties when accepting Exhibitor Materials and authorizing participation in the Event.
8.4 Credit Organizer will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide artist attribution whenever reasonably practical and consistent with the intended use of the Exhibitor Materials.
Failure to provide credit shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Organizer may make reasonable formatting, sizing, cropping, or color adjustments required for publication or production.
SECTION 9 — Photography, Video & Media Release 9.1 Event Documentation Organizer, accredited media, sponsors, and authorized photographers or videographers may photograph, film, livestream, or otherwise record the Event.
Such recordings may include:
Artwork; Exhibition Spaces; Exhibitor personnel; visitors; and Event activities. 9.2 Consent Exhibitor grants Organizer and its authorized media partners the perpetual right to photograph, film, record, livestream, webcast, stream, reproduce, publish, distribute, broadcast, exhibit, archive, synchronize, and otherwise use Event documentation depicting:
Exhibitor; Artwork; Exhibition Space; business name; trademarks; personnel; and related activities for promotional, educational, editorial, archival, historical, documentary, and marketing purposes.
No compensation shall be owed for such use.
9.3 Staff Notification Exhibitor shall notify participating artists, staff members, contractors, and representatives that photography and recording will occur throughout the Event.
Any request to avoid photographing a specific individual must be submitted to Organizer in writing prior to the Event.
Organizer will make reasonable efforts to honor such requests but cannot guarantee complete exclusion.
9.4 Exhibitor Photography Exhibitors may photograph or record their own Exhibition Space for personal, editorial, archival, and promotional purposes.
Commercial filming, livestreaming, or extensive recording of the Event or of other Exhibitors requires Organizer's prior written approval.
Exhibitors shall respect the copyrights and privacy rights of other Exhibitors.
SECTION 10 — Limitation of Liability 10.1 No Warranty Organizer does not guarantee:
attendance; Artwork sales; media coverage; collector attendance; commercial success; internet availability; uninterrupted utilities; or any specific business outcome resulting from participation. Participation is undertaken entirely at Exhibitor's own commercial judgment.

The limitations of liability contained in this Agreement apply equally to every entity included within the defined term "Organizer" and to each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, employees, volunteers, contractors, agents, licensors, licensees, successors, and assigns.
10.4 Third-Party Services Organizer may recommend or coordinate independent service providers including:
shippers; installers; customs brokers; framers; photographers; printers; AV contractors; security providers; and caterers. Such providers operate independently.
Organizer assumes no liability for their acts, omissions, delays, or performance.
10.5 Third-Party Platforms Organizer may utilize independent digital platforms, ticketing providers, livestreaming services, payment processors, online marketplaces, streaming platforms, content delivery networks, social media platforms, artificial intelligence tools, cloud storage providers, digital asset management systems, analytics services, communication platforms, and other third-party technologies in connection with the planning, administration, promotion, operation, and delivery of the Event.
