About this Event
Open Invitational returns to Miami for its third year during Miami Art Week, December 1–5, 2026, at the Melin Building, 2nd Floor, in the Miami Design District.
Open Invitational brings together progressive art studios, nonprofit art programs, and artists with disabilities from across the United States and abroad. Following editions in Miami, New York, San Francisco, and Basel, the fair increases visibility, access, and cultural recognition for artists working within progressive studio environments, and places their work at the center of contemporary art.
