InScope Art Festival has announced more than 70 galleries from 12 countries for its first edition, scheduled for Dec. 1–6 during Miami Art Week. The fair will occupy four beachfront pavilions on Ocean Drive at 8th Street and include talks, performances, tours and wellness events.
InScope Art Festival has announced more than 70 galleries from 12 countries for its debut during Miami Art Week, which is scheduled to run Dec. 1–6 on Miami Beach. The indoor-outdoor fair will be held in four pavilions on Ocean Drive at 8th Street, adding a new event to the week’s art program.
The organizers say the debut is designed around a more focused presentation rather than maximizing the number of exhibitors. “We don’t believe a better art fair is simply a bigger one,” InScope Director Hayley River Smith said. She said the number of galleries was chosen to challenge the idea that a successful fair must show as much as possible.
The announced exhibitors include artist-founded and artist-run spaces such as Tlaloc Studios, The Narrative Showroom, See You Next Thursday, Gambit Works, Galería Surco and 81 Leonard Gallery. The broader list also includes galleries and projects such as Blumka Contemporary, The Bishop Gallery, Good Mother Gallery, Pen + Brush, SPACE776 and Yiwei Presents. Organizers describe the lineup as a mix of perspectives and practices; the announcement does not provide a full breakdown by country or medium.
Work highlighted in the announcement includes 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. These are examples cited by InScope, not a complete work list. Feature Projects are planned for artists and projects including Alake Shilling, Aurora Mititelu, Blue Floor Project, Ceren Arslan, Jason Hackenwerth, Nurse, Rabi Towing and Swoon.
A New Format on Ocean Drive
InScope’s announcement adds another fair to an established Miami Art Week calendar, while its planned location places the event in a public-facing beachfront setting. The organizers’ stated emphasis on a smaller exhibitor count and longer encounters sets out a different ambition from fairs organized around scale, though whether visitors experience that difference will only be clear once the event opens.
The announced mix of artist-led organizations and galleries may also give visitors a chance to encounter work and exhibition models beyond larger commercial presentations. InScope has paired the gallery displays with a schedule of talks, performances, tours and wellness events, suggesting the fair is intended to offer programming beyond viewing booths. Details on the schedule and how visitors can attend individual events have not yet been provided in the source announcement.

A First Edition During Art Week
Miami Art Week has developed over roughly two decades into a major annual gathering for galleries, artists and collectors in South Florida. InScope is entering that busy calendar with its first edition, scheduled for six days in early December. The announcement says the event will use four pavilions for its physical gallery presentations, with an indoor-outdoor format at the Ocean Drive site.
InScope says its approach centers on connection-based collecting and creating space for visitors to spend time with works and meet the people presenting them. Those are the organizers’ aims, rather than independently established outcomes. The announcement lists the exhibitors and planned program categories but does not yet describe how the fair will measure attendance, sales or visitor engagement.
“We don’t believe a better art fair is simply a bigger one.”

Details Still Awaiting Release
The announcement does not specify ticket prices, opening hours or the detailed schedule for talks, performances, tours and wellness events. It also does not break down the more than 70 exhibitors by country, identify all artists whose work will be displayed, or give visitor and sales projections.
The organizers’ description of the fair as a setting for connection and discovery is an intention, not a confirmed result. The event has not yet taken place, so its attendance, public response and effect on Miami Art Week remain unknown.
Tickets and December Programming
Tickets are available online, according to the announcement. InScope is scheduled to open on Dec. 1 and run through Dec. 6, 2026, at Ocean Drive and 8th Street on Miami Beach. The next useful updates for prospective visitors are expected to include the full daily program and practical information such as hours and event access.
Visitors planning to attend can use the published exhibitor list to identify galleries and projects of interest, then check InScope’s official channels for program details as the dates approach. The fair’s opening will provide the first opportunity to see how its four-pavilion format and accompanying events work in practice.
