All you need to know about Miami Arts, Culture & Heritage Months
While in Miami, don’t forget to experience the city’s unique culture. From art galleries and museums to festivals and music performances, there is something for everyone. Miami Arts, Culture & Heritage Months is a month-long celebration of Miami’s vibrant arts scene. Started in 2018 to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach and Wynwood Art Districts‘ 20th Anniversary Celebration.
Art Basel Miami Beach (Nov.28-29, 2022)
Art Basel Miami Beach is an international contemporary Miami art fair held annually in December in Miami Beach filled with satellite fairs, art shows, and other events that showcase local artists. The fair is the largest in America and is part of a series of events known as Art Basel that takes place annually across four continents. During its first edition in 2002, it was originally called “Art Central” but changed its name to Art Basel after a few years.
The week surrounding Art Basel Miami Beach is Miami Art Week (or MAMW), a week-long series of events at museums, galleries, and other venues across the city’s neighborhoods, filled with activities like panel discussions on art history or how to start an arts program at your school. Galleries abound in areas including the Miami Design District, Allapattah, Little Haiti, Downtown Miami, and South Beach.
Wynwood Arts District
Wynwood Walls is a 14-block outdoor museum dedicated to street art, located in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami. Wynwood Walls opened on December 1, 2009, with the aim of creating an inviting atmosphere for all visitors who are interested in experiencing contemporary art. The gallery hosts over 100 murals by groundbreaking artists from around the world with new ones being added each year.
While many of these works can be found throughout this historic district, there are several pieces that have been created specifically for this project including “Miami Roots Mural,” “Mural by Alex Senna & Naeem Mohaiemen,” “Mural by Sophia Perez Cruz” and many more!
Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)
Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) was opened in December 2013 and has become a must-visit for art lovers. The museum is located on Biscayne Boulevard in the heart of Downtown Miami, enabling visitors to enjoy many other attractions nearby such as the American Airlines Arena, Bayfront Park, and the 500-acre urban park that surrounds it.
The museum itself boasts breathtaking architecture by Herzog & de Meuron with Biscayne Bay at its backdrop and over 4,000 works of art from various periods and cultures including ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Asia, Africa and Europe.
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

The center hosts a wide variety of performances in its 2,000-seat theaters throughout the year, from Broadway shows like Hamilton and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, as well as resident companies that include Miami City Ballet, Florida Grand Opera, and the New World Symphony.
