ART + DESIGN
FAIR
Where Global Contemporary African Diaspora Art, Design, Music + Culture Converge during Miami Art Week
Where Global art, design, and music converge.
KEY Art + Design Fair is the “Fine Arts Homecoming” — where the culture meets each year during Miami Art Week to celebrate art, design, and music.
HBCU student and alumni artists shine alongside emerging and mid-career artists from Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas. Through curated exhibitions, special programming and immersive experiences, KEY connects artists to collectors, curators and art lovers worldwide.
At 8th & Collins, KEY Art debuted in a 15,000 square foot retail space with Howard University's Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts for their Bison at Basel celebration — establishing an early bridge between emerging HBCU talent and the international Miami Art Week ecosystem.
Thirty student artists exhibited, joined panels and met collectors along side emerging artists from around the globe. KEY Art + Design Fair’s 2025 debut demonstrated the commitment to cultivating the future of art while creating direct pathways to curators, collectors and the marketplace.
