RED DOT MIAMI 2024 WAS AMAZING!

Art lovers and collectors flocked to the 19th edition of Red Dot Miami, a premier curated contemporary art fair held annually during Miami Art Week. This year’s five-day event, running from Opening Night on December 4 through Sunday, December 8, featured exhibitors from 23 countries, showcasing works from hundreds of talented artists from around the world.

Fair Highlights

As guests entered the lobby, they were instantly immersed in Sarah Steiber’s vibrant Integration installation, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. From there, they were drawn to Empress Gin‘s elegant display before venturing into Red Dot’s galleries. End to End, K Art Projects USA, and Artavita galleries exhibited alongside many other returning and new exhibitors. The fair was a true celebration of creativity and global artistic expression.

  • Acclaimed artist Tony Pharo kept the End to End Gallery booth jumping with his Unraveled Youth solo show and its interactive activation.
  • Artavita’s presentation of Betsy Ashton’s Portraits of Immigrants series, which captivated audiences with its emotional depth.
  • Once again Kris and Angela Gebhardt showcased their newest works in the Gebhardt Gallery Booth 401 with Angela’s Celestial as a centerpiece.
  • Strolling the aisles and finding that perfect piece of art was made all the better while sipping a glass of Pommery Champagne!

There was so much more — take a look at the videos that capture the magic or our photo albums and you’ll see what we mean!
