Art Basel Miami Beach celebrates its 20-year anniversary this December, and the massive annual art fair will be bigger than ever before. Organizers for the event shared news of the 2022 edition, which brings 283 leading galleries from 38 countries and territories around the world to Miami Beach, including 26 first-time exhibitors. Attendees can expect a truly international experience with more than half of the exhibitors hailing from North and South America, as well as Europe and Asia.
To mark the two-decade milestone, Art Basel will extend beyond the convention center floor and into the Miami community with a schedule of cultural programming across the city’s world-class cultural institutions and private collections. Details have yet to be announced.
