Miami, FL – September 8th, 2026:   Redwood Art Group, the nation’s leader in exhibitions, event production, media, and marketing for the global fine art community, announces its return to Wynwood Arts District with two of the longest running fairs during Miami Art Week.  For 2026, Redwood’s flagship art fairs are pleased to introduce the official nonprofit partner, Jackson Health Foundation, for a series of fundraising initiatives to help support children and families across the region.

 

Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami will return to Mana Wynwood Convention Center, offering “Two Fairs Under One Roof” for both exhibitors and art enthusiasts during this year’s Miami Art Week, taking place December 2nd to December 6th at Mana Wynwood, 2217 NW 5th Ave., and NW 22nd St. in Miami.  The five-day fairs will cover more than 150,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space, all within walking distance of Wynwood’s coveted restaurants, bars, and retail boutiques. E-tickets can now be purchased in advance by visiting redwoodartgroup.com/spectrum-miami/ and redwoodartgroup.com/red-dot-miami/. 

 

Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami have grown to become the ultimate destination for the fine art industry professional and contemporary art enthusiast, with exhibits showcasing today’s elite artists, galleries, dealers, and emerging talents. With more than 40,000 attendees flocking to see the artwork of the 1,000+ artists showcased by over 280 exhibitors, avid art enthusiasts and industry leaders will also return to enjoy Spectrum Miami’s sister fair [SOLO], highlighting established and independent emerging artists.

 

This year’s fairs will welcome the official 2026 nonprofit partner, Jackson Health Foundation, the private fundraising arm of Jackson Health System, the most comprehensive healthcare provider in South Florida. The partnership will help raise awareness of Jackson’s support for children and families in need by offering access to health care services, regardless of their ability to pay. The fairs will welcome members from the Foundation’s Guardian Angels and Golden Angel Society and will designate Thursday, December 3rd as “Jackson Health Day.”  On this commemorative day, Holtz Children’s Hospital patients, parents, providers, and staff will receive a guided tour of the Mana Wynwood venue and have the opportunity to participate in special programming. For every ticket sold to approximately 75,000 households invited, $10 will be donated to Holtz Children’s Hospital. Attendees will also have the opportunity to make an additional donation to Jackson Health Foundation with their ticket purchase or registration.

 

“We’re pleased to announce the dates for this year’s Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami, and welcome a very special nonprofit partner to the Redwood family,” says Eric Smith, president of Redwood Art Group. “Through our alliance with Jackson Health Foundation, this year’s attendees will have the chance to make a difference in thousands of children’s lives, and we look forward to welcoming members, parents and staff from Guardian Angel, Golden Angel Society and Holtz Children’s Hospital to this year’s fairs.”

 

Spectrum Miami, an upscale and urban curated contemporary art fair, now in its 16th year, will be located adjacent to its sister fair, Red Dot Miami. Spectrum Miami presents special programs and site-specific exhibitions that showcase the thriving art landscape of the city.  Spectrum Miami showcases independent career artists, studios, and younger galleries that are pushing the boundaries in surprising and significant ways.

Untitled Art Miami Beach OPens December 1, Show runs 2-6, 2026

As we look towards our milestone anniversary in Miami Beach, we begin the first newsletter in our series by highlighting galleries joining us across both editions of the fair this year.


Following Untitled Art, Houston next month, 26 galleries will continue on to December, reflecting the relationships, perspectives, and artistic practices that connect our two fairs while giving each edition its own distinct context.


From emerging programs to longstanding exhibitors, these galleries represent a cross-section of the wider Untitled Art community, bringing presentations shaped by different artists, contexts, and conversations to audiences in both cities. 

Pauline Guerrier, Robert Sagerman, Murray Clarke, and Quirin Krumbholz

IRL Gallery, New York


Presented by IRL Gallery, the works explore materiality, process, and perception through straw marquetry, textiles, handmade pigments, densely worked paint surfaces, and reflective or kinetic elements. Layered and tactile, they shift between abstraction and representation, stillness and movement, revealing how physical materials can shape both visual experience and meaning while inviting sustained looking and discovery.

Juliana Seraphim, Stella Snead, Manina, and Samira Abbassy

Richard Saltoun Gallery, London / Rome / New York


Richard Saltoun Gallery presents Untamed: Flora, Fauna, and the Female Surreal, bringing together more than a century of artistic practice. Moving between historical Surrealism and contemporary approaches, the presentation considers flora and fauna as conduits for interior knowledge, spirituality, memory, and transformation. Dreamlike landscapes, hybrid figures, and recurring natural motifs are prevalent, and the artists reclaim the natural world as a space of feminine agency and transcendence.

David McGee

Inman Gallery, Houston


McGee draws on art history, literature, popular culture, and the legacies of the American Civil War to examine Black male archetypes, visibility, and how history is constructed and remembered. Exhibited by Inman Gallery, large-scale watercolors and intimately scaled works on paper use symbolic imagery and layered references to transform overlooked or obscured figures into protagonists, tracing the enduring relationship between personal identity, cultural memory, and Black American history.

Alex Puz

PFA Gallery, Washington, D.C. / Kensington


New work by Puz at PFA Gallery brings together paintings and works on paper that explore the relationship between color, perception, and sensation. Through tightly layered networks of intersecting lines and complementary hues, Puz creates shifting compositions that move between geometric precision and optical instability. Oscillating moiré patterns and chromatic rhythms draw the eye across the surface, transforming the booth into an immersive study of how visual information is processed, felt, and understood.

Nanni Valentini, Gastone Biggi, Filippo Moroni, and Bernardo Liu 

ABC-ARTE, Genova / Milan


At ABC-ARTE, layering becomes a way of constructing both image and meaning. In presenting painting, sculpture, textile, and mixed media, the works build surfaces through repetition, accumulation, translucency, and transformation. These stratified compositions hold traces of time, memory, rhythm, and material change, allowing forms to emerge, recede, and shift in perception. The artists consider the surface not as a fixed boundary, but as an active space where histories and materials continuously overlap and evolve.

Cameron Patricia Downey and Julia García

HAIR+NAILS, Minneapolis / New York


For HAIR+NAILS, contrast becomes the connective thread. Bringing sculpture and painting into close proximity, the presentation moves between density and openness, precision and spontaneity, material presence and psychological suggestion. Rather than resolving these differences, the works amplify them, creating an atmosphere that feels unsettled, expressive, and alive to the possibilities of how form can carry memory, sensation, and lived experience.

Giuditta Branconi

LUPO Lorenzelli Projects, Milan


In LUPO Lorenzelli Projects' presentation, the garden becomes a site of transformation, where mythology, memory, ornament, and contemporary imagery converge. In a new body of linen paintings by Branconi, figures, flora, and fauna emerge within dense, luminous compositions that move between the sacred and the profane, the cultivated and the wild. Layered with art-historical and decorative references, they resist a fixed reading, instead inviting viewers into an immersive visual world shaped by abundance, ambiguity, and continual discovery.

Group Presentation including Liliane Tomasko, Nicola Tyson, Jose Lerma, Ethan Cooke, and Tony Matelli

NINO MIER GALLERY, Brussels / New York


For NINO MIER GALLERY’s presentation, the body and landscape become sites of perceptual slippage. Moving between figuration and abstraction, the works distort scale, orientation, surface, and form to unsettle familiar ways of seeing. Natural phenomena, interior states, and the human figure are reimagined through exaggerated, fragmented, or psychologically charged visual languages, creating a presentation that explores how perception shapes, and often destabilizes, our understanding of the world around us.

Feipel & Bechameil, Kim Dacres, Yashua Klos, Nate Lewis, Khalif Tahir Thompson, Summer Wheat, and YoYo Lander

Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery, Luxembourg / Dubai / Paris


Across Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery’s presentation, material becomes a vehicle for storytelling. Through layered surfaces, collage, sculptural relief, cut paper, printmaking, and richly worked paint, the works explore how identity, memory, and collective histories are built, fragmented, and reassembled. Between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and monumentality, the presentation reveals a shared interest in transformation, both of materials themselves and of the personal and cultural narratives they carry.

Kathleen Petyarre, Margaret Loy Pula, and Abie Loy Kemarre

Mitchell Fine Art, Brisbane


Bringing together three generations of women from the same family, the presentation by Mitchell Fine Art traces the continuity of Aboriginal cultural knowledge through painting. Rooted in connections to Country, ceremony, kinship, and inherited stories, the works reveal how artistic practice can carry memory across generations while continuing to evolve in the present. Together, they consider painting as both a visual language and a living form of cultural transmission, linking ancestral knowledge with contemporary expression.
