Getting there. The fair is at Convention Center Drive & 19th Street, Miami Beach. Uber and Lyft drop-off and pick-up is at the corner of 19th Street and Meridian Avenue. If you're driving, parking is available at the city garage at 1755 Meridian Avenue. During Art Basel week, traffic on Miami Beach is significant — plan extra time in either direction.
Title partner. Bank of America Private Bank is the title partner for Design Miami 2026. Bank of America cardholders should check their benefits — the bank's arts programs frequently include access or priority entry for cardholders at partner events.
The poster. The official poster for Design Miami 2026 was created c/o Basic:Space, the Los Angeles-based creative studio. It is available at the fair.
What to expect. Design Miami is a collectible design fair — furniture, lighting, ceramics, textiles, and objects that occupy the space between art and function. It is smaller and more focused than Art Basel, which runs across the street. The gallery program has 24 presenting institutions this year. The Curios section features 13 immersive installations. Special Projects adds seven more presentations. Plan two to three hours for a thorough visit.
