InScope Art Festival has announced more than 70 exhibitors from 12 countries for its first edition during Miami Art Week, running Dec. 1–6 at Ocean Drive and 8th Street in Miami Beach. The new fair will use four beachfront pavilions and feature artist-founded galleries, special projects, talks, performances, tours and wellness events.
InScope Art Festival has announced more than 70 exhibitors from 12 countries for its debut during Miami Art Week, scheduled for Dec. 1–6 at Ocean Drive and 8th Street in Miami Beach. The new fair will present galleries across four beachfront pavilions and add talks, performances, tours and wellness events to the week’s art programming.
The organizers say the indoor-outdoor fair is designed around a more focused presentation rather than simply maximizing the number of galleries. “We don’t believe a better art fair is simply a bigger one,” Hayley River Smith, InScope’s director, said in the announcement. She said the inaugural exhibitor count was chosen to challenge the idea that a successful fair requires visitors to see as much as possible.
Artist-founded or artist-run spaces among the exhibitors include Tlaloc Studios, The Narrative Showroom, See You Next Thursday, Gambit Works, Galería Surco and 81 Leonard Gallery. The announced presentations include paintings by Andrew J. Park, Diego Hiromi and Ingebjørg Støyva; glass works by Pavel Novak; fabric pieces by Yvonne Mak; photographs by Daniel Malikyar; and metal teddy bear frames by Sam Dybeck.
InScope also lists Feature Projects by Alake Shilling, Aurora Mititelu, Blue Floor Project, Ceren Arslan, Jason Hackenwerth, Nurse, Rabi Towing and Swoon. A day-to-night schedule of talks, performances, guided tours and wellness events is planned alongside the gallery displays. Tickets are available online, according to the announcement.
A New Format on Miami Beach
InScope’s arrival adds another fair to Miami Art Week, a period when galleries and art events draw visitors to South Florida. Its stated emphasis on a selected group of exhibitors and artist-led organizations gives attendees a distinct format to compare with larger fairs, though the organizers’ aims are not yet evidence of how visitors or collectors will respond.
The program also extends beyond gallery booths. By combining exhibitions with talks, performances, tours and wellness events, the festival is presenting itself as a place for visitors to spend time with artists and exhibitors, not only move through displays. Whether that approach changes how people engage with the fair will become clearer during the event.

The Fair’s First Miami Art Week
Miami Art Week has developed over roughly two decades into a major annual gathering for the region’s art scene. InScope describes its debut as a new contribution to that setting, with an indoor-outdoor site at Ocean Drive and 8th Street rather than an exhibition space detached from the beachfront.
The announcement centers on the exhibitor list and the physical arrangement: four pavilions will house gallery presentations. It names more than 70 exhibitors, including galleries and projects from a range of countries, but does not provide a country-by-country breakdown in the supplied material. The complete exhibitor list includes spaces such as Blumka Contemporary, Good Mother Gallery, Pen + Brush, SPACE776, Var Gallery and Yiwei Presents.
““We don’t believe a better art fair is simply a bigger one.””

Details Still to Be Confirmed
The announcement gives the overall exhibitor count and names the participants, but does not specify how the 12 countries are represented, how galleries will be distributed among the four pavilions, or the full timetable for talks and performances. It also does not provide attendance expectations or explain how the organizers will measure whether the connection-focused format succeeds.
The listed artists and works indicate what visitors may encounter, but the available information does not set out a complete work-by-work checklist or confirm whether every named piece will be on view throughout all six days. Further event details may be released closer to opening.
Opening Week Begins December 1
InScope is scheduled to open on Dec. 1, 2026, and run through Dec. 6 at Ocean Drive and 8th Street in Miami Beach. Visitors can use the announced exhibitor list to plan around the participating galleries and Feature Projects; tickets are listed as available online.
The next details to watch for are the daily program, pavilion layout and any updates to the exhibitor or project information. The fair’s first edition will provide the clearest indication of how its four-pavilion format and accompanying events work in practice.
