  • The 2025 Application Fee for either the Miami Art Week Pop-Up or the photoMIAMI event is $29. This is lower than 2024 and is a flat fee for all Exhibitor categories.

Applications without the requisite Application Fees may be cancelled at the discretion of Miami Art Week.

    The Exhibitor Fee is invoiced separately and is not due today. It will be billed to you if your application is approved by the Miami Art Week Selection Committee. Exhibition space and subsequently participation in any of the Miami Art Week events will not be confirmed until all Application and Exhibitor Fees have been paid in full.
    50% of the Exhibitor Fee will be due upon acceptance and the remaining 50% will be due by October 31, 2025.

    During the application process, files must be uploaded using our application form. After acceptance, ALL artwork images and other files must be saved in the Exhibitor Portal.

    Artwork will NOT be accepted via or other means, including third-party platforms.

    FILE SIZES

    We will not accept images embedded within a PDF or some other publication type. We reserve the right to reject images that do not follow the guidelines.

    FILE NAMING STRUCTURE

    Please follow the below guidelines when naming your images and other files:

    • Include the artist’s name and if a gallery, the gallery AND artist's name in the file name. Why? We are receiving thousands of images and even though you have your own portal access, we don’t want to risk one of your images getting lost in the data.

    • Use unique file names for each image or file name. (No duplicate file names.)

    • Letters in the name should only be the letters of the Latin alphabet (A-Z, a-z). Do not use foreign/non-Latin characters as these could corrupt the files.

    • Only use hyphens and underscores. Avoid any other punctuation marks, accented letters, non-Latin letters, and other non-standard characters such as forward and back slashes, colon, semicolon, asterisks, angle brackets or brackets.

    INFORMATION ABOUT YOU & YOUR ARTWORK (for your promotion and benefit)

    Information about you and your artwork should be submitted in a Microsoft Word, PDF or text file. This information should be included within your Exhibitor Portal Artwork folder(s) as a separate document. If you’re submitting any PDF files, ensure that they are not locked or password protected.

    The below information should be included, where possible. This may seem a little tedious, but the more information you provide, the more data we can include about you and your artwork.

Our Exhibitor Services Department will work with each participant directly regarding their needs and advise on what space is available including locations within the Gallery. All available additional space and placement of all Exhibition space is at the sole discretion of the Miami Art Week Exhibitor Services Department and our event Curators.

  • For 2025, we are accepting applications on a rolling basis. While there may be some applications that end up on a waitlist due to limited space available, in general, most applicants will know fairly quickly so they can plan ahead for December. Our goal is to respond to all applications as quickly as possible.

  • No, it is not online-only. There are two different in-person shows (the Miami Art Week Arte NXT Wynwood Pop-Up and photoMIAMI) held at our Wynwood venue. This is in addition to the 20+ other art fairs that will be underway during Miami Art Week.

  • The purpose of requesting artwork and information is for both our Exhibitor application process and, if accepted, your dedicated page on the Miami Art Week digital platforms. Your content may also be selected for promotion and publication on the Miami Art Week and photoMIAMI websites, the Miami Art Week digital magazine, social media platforms and other marketing collateral. If/when you are sending us content, for your benefit, we also request that you provide us with some information regarding the artwork.

    If selected to exhibit, the Exhibitor’s body of work must be substantially the same as shown in their images submitted during the application process. Non-compliance with this requirement may result in expulsion from the show(s).
