Faena Art Week 2026: A Dance Floor, a Crown and a New Commission
Christopher Joshua Benton, Marinella Senatore and Kevin Arrow feature in Faena Art’s preliminary November 30–December 6 program.
Faena’s next Art Week moves from last year’s shared reading spaces toward light, movement and collective gathering. Its preliminary 2026 program names three artists across the beach, hotel and Casa Faena, giving the district a place in an itinerary that reaches beyond the fair halls.
Three artists across the district
Faena Art’s 2026 exhibition page lists November 30–December 6. Christopher Joshua Benton’s beach project centers on a monumental mirrored disco ball and an open-air dance floor. Marinella Senatore’s An Expanded Baroque Crown is described as a luminous structure for the hotel’s Cathedral. Kevin Arrow is named for a site-specific Casa Faena installation presented with No Vacancy.
Two project titles remain unannounced. Daily visiting hours, admission terms, opening reception details and a 2026 DJ schedule are still pending confirmation. Treat this as a first look, rather than a finished timetable or an invitation.
Make room around the fairs
Our planning choice would be to leave a flexible Miami Beach interval for Faena, then fix the visit once access details are released. A named art project does not establish admission to a separate performance, dinner or hotel party.
The city’s No Vacancy program runs November 12–December 19 and brings site-specific work to 12 Miami Beach hotels. That wider route offers another reason to look beyond a single fair.
Keep the years separate
Es Devlin’s The Library of Us and Pepe Mar’s Tropical Stomping Grounds belong to the 2025 retrospective. Last year’s performers and access offers do not establish this year’s program.
