Lincoln Road, Miami Beach’s iconic open-air pedestrian promenade, cultural hub, public art park and sculpture garden, will once again come alive for Art Week Miami Beach 2025 with a strong lineup of free public art with 14 installations. Headlining the program are: French artist Philippe Katerine’s monumental “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” inflatables, Rubem Robierb’s “Dream Machine” and “Empower Flower”, Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva”—the winning sculpture from Lincoln Road’s inaugural Call to Artists—and expanded works by internationally celebrated duo Gillie and Marc.

At the forefront of Lincoln Road’s Art Week 2025 installations is “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” (“Monsieur Rose s’envole”), a series of six cartoon-like bubblegum-pink pieces (five inflatables perched on buildings, one sculpture at street level) towering between 12 and 20 feet tall. Katerine, who lives in Paris, is a celebrated singer-songwriter, actor and visual artist who consistently blends humor with reflection on everyday life, challenging audiences to see the world through fresh and unexpected perspectives.

The artworks embody Katerine’s philosophy of Mignonisme (“Cuteism”), a movement celebrating the aesthetics of cuteness. They were produced by EXMURO, a public art organization based in Quebec City, Canada and rentingART, an art agency based in Paris, France. The installations will be on view from November 2025 through April 2026.

The Goodtime Hotel presents the grand opening borderline, a collaborative exhibition in partnership with Queue Gallery, Supermarket Gallery and Miami Art Society, featuring 11 South Florida-based artists working across a variety of mediums, including painting, photography, sculpture and ceramics. With never-before-seen works by both established and emerging artists, the show invites audiences to “linger in the in-between.”

The Miami Design District, in collaboration with Design Miami Curatorial Lab, proudly announces acclaimed artist Katie Stout as the recipient of the 2025 Annual Design Commission. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this year’s Design Commission will debut throughout the neighborhood during Miami Art Week, with additional displays featured at the 20th anniversary edition of Design Miami’s flagship fair. Stout’s installation, Gargantua’s Thumb, brings a fantastical cast of sculptural furniture to life, ranging from a dog-shaped bench to a whimsical whale-shaped fainting sofa, and a frog-inspired perch that invites playful engagement. At the heart of MDD, an interactive carousel offers an immersive centerpiece. Overhead, hundreds of colorful orbs, each embedded with flora- and fauna-inspired figures, will be suspended throughout the neighborhood’s trees.

During Miami Art Week, CLAUDIE - a standout concept by Riviera Dining Group - is partnering with Bartoux Gallery to showcase the evocative works of Anna Master in its Main Dining Room. To complement the exhibition, an exclusive cocktail reception will be held on December 1st for Riviera Dining Group’s MM Members and their VIP guests. In addition, CLAUDIE’s Private Dining Room will feature the stunning photography of Frédéric Pinet. To celebrate the opening of his exhibition, a special cocktail reception will welcome MM Members and distinguished guests, with curated bites and cocktails designed to enhance the experience. Complementing both exhibitions, CLAUDIE will offer a signature cocktail inspired by Anna Master’s art, creating a fully immersive experience that celebrates creativity and the spirit of Art Week.

In partnership with One Love Art DAO Digital Gallery and NFTCLT, The Gates presents Chromasthesia, becoming a living, breathing sensory playground with immersive art and technology showcases featuring Toronto-based multimedia artist LOTUS(9) and AI-integrated digital frames by MetaSill, along with muralists Morazul, Elekktra, Punk Me Tender and Victoria Citro. It is free to exhibit the art. RSVP for ticketed events and VIP package announcements.

Cartier and the panther are inseparable; two destinies intertwine in a shared story brought to life with the immersive experience, Panthére Into the Wild. Follow in the footsteps of the precious Maison emblem through immersive spaces dedicated to every facet of her legacy. From her first debut on a wristwatch, to the woman who realized the strength of the feline’s form, stories of savoir-faire along with exceptional flora and fauna creations, and a privileged selection of historic and archival pieces from the Cartier Collection, discover the precious wilderness of the Cartier menagerie.

The Craig Robins Collection comprises over 1700 works of modern and contemporary art and exhibited at Dacra’s headquarters in the Miami Design District. The 2025-2026 rehang, Walking on Air presents a focus on the work of Richard Tuttle, the artist most prominently represented in the collection, with pieces ranging from the mid-1960’s to the present. Tuttle’s early work – his Drift construction (1965), tin Letters (1966), and dyed cloth pieces (1967) – first introduced the sense of spatial suspension and material subtlety that have continued to define his practice to this day. Seen alongside David Hammons’ Basketball Drawing (1998), John Baldessari’s Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (1973) and Marcel Duchamp’s 1964 edition of 3 Standard Stoppages, a similarity emerges between these works’ shared fascination with chance and playful negotiation between gravity and grace. Drawing from Tuttle’s namesake work from 2009, Walking on Air suggests a theme that threads through exhibited works by Jana Euler, Sasha Gordon, Xinyi Cheng and Mario Ayala. Additional highlights include recent acquisitions by Lauren Halsey, Sam McKinnis, Jill Mulleady, and others.

December 1st - 7th, 2025
ARTIST PERFORMANCE
December 1st & 2nd, 2025 | each day at 6:00 pm
Performance Artist L.A. Samuelson | Telegraph Valley.

The shipping container—a vessel of movement, transportation, and memory—serves as a lens through which we explore the personal and collective histories of containment. For Caribbean communities, containers and barrels symbolize both migration and support: they carry essentials, treasures, and the intangible legacies of family, culture, and resilience.

These structures, physical and metaphorical, hold the weight of memory, trauma, care, and joy reflecting the ways we navigate histories shaped by colonialism, displacement, and global exchange.

In What’s in Your Container, the works on view serve as sites of refuge— both physical and emotional—may be destroyed, leaving a void in which we seek healing. In response, artists turn inward, using their creative practice as containers for memory, grief, harmony, and regeneration.

This exhibition invites students and visitors to consider their own vessels of memory. How do we hold our histories? What structures sustain us? And how can we transform grief and loss into acts of preservation, care, and renewed community? What’s in Your Container challenges us to see both the fragility and the resilience of memory, and encourages us to preserve the legacies of the past while imagining new forms of collective care and renewal.

The show explores and reimagines the complex, multifaceted concept of territory. The exhibition transitions from viewing territory as layered, tangible ground to understanding it as rooted in primordial, earth-bound forces — celebrating it as a space where the symbolic and the dreamlike converge. Organized into four chapters (The Pulse, Landscapes in the Making, Whispers from the Land, and Shelter Among the Scars), the exhibition weaves together narratives that portray territory as a shared space of affection, magic, and community, where legends and myths intersect. These stories form a tapestry of metaphors that — in the words of Mazatec shaman María Sabina — evoke a world that is simultaneously far away, nearby, and invisible.

Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Autograph Collection, located along the famous Miami Beach Beachwalk, will host a live art activation by multidisciplinary artist Hira Majeed on the hotel’s front porch overlooking Collins Avenue. Starting on Tuesday, December 2, at noon, Majeed will paint “Serenity,” a life-size Cadillac F1 car sculpture on-site, transforming it with color-shift paint that changes with the light. Crafted primarily from clay and resin, the sculpture bridges motorsport, design and contemporary art while reflecting the tranquility and focus that inspire both driving and creation. The installation celebrates Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club’s legacy as a Miami Beach icon and will be available for viewing through F1 2026, offering a moment of stillness amid the energy of Miami.

Delilah Miami, an exclusive modern-day supper club, blends the glamour of the Roaring ’20s with technique-driven cuisine and creative cocktails in an award-winning setting (it recently received a prestigious Restaurant & Bar Design Award).

Helmed by Chef Mitchell Hesse, the menu infuses Latin-inspired flavors while preserving Delilah’s signature dishes.

Hotel Continental and Danny O’Connor present An Afternoon of Art with live poolside painting. O’Connor, whose painting “The Summer of 1948” is featured in the hotel’s lobby, will expand on that work by selecting small vignettes that appear within it and reinterpreting them on a larger canvas by the pool. The painting channels midcentury American vacations with era-specific details, from classic automobiles to icons like Marilyn Monroe, Chuck Berry and Steve McQueen. The piece’s signature glow comes from an underpainting technique, where yellow lines peek through, infusing the work with the warmth of endless summer days.

Guests will have the opportunity to watch as these whimsical characters, including favorites like longboarder “Commander Good Times” and surfer “JoJo Toscano,” come to life. Portraits created during the event will be available for purchase until the end of the day on Thursday, December 4.

Guests are invited to relax by the pool, enjoy chilled beverages and bites from Divebar, and watch as Danny O’Connor transforms the sunlit atmosphere of Hotel Continental into a living canvas celebrating art, nostalgia and the spirit of endless summer.

The exhibition reflects on what we’ve built, what has disappeared, and what remains sacred.

LaChapelle, whose career spans over four decades, continues to confront the paradoxes of beauty and decay, artifice and authenticity, with a unique visual language that merges theatricality, spirituality and social critique. Vanishing Act gathers landmark works from across his career alongside new and never‑before‑seen pieces that reflect the deepening urgency of his practice today. Highlights include the debut of “Will the World End in Fire, Will the World End in Ice” (2025), a continuation of LaChapelle’s contemplation on nature and civilization, and new additions to his acclaimed “Negative Currency” series.
