Faena Art Week 2026

Faena Art's 2026 program brings monumental sculpture, light and participatory performance to Miami Beach. The two main commissions are listed as free and open to the public daily from noon to 9:00 PM, December 1–6. Check the organizer's pages before travelling for any access or schedule changes.

A Lore Supreme — Christopher Joshua Benton

A mirrored sphere approximately 27 feet tall and 44 feet wide, made from more than 7,000 mirrored facets, will be installed on Faena Beach. Conceived as both a sculpture and gathering space, the work draws on Miami's musical and cultural connections across Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. The associated Island Funk House program is described as including wellness activities, sound-documentary sessions and live performances.

Dates: December 1–6, 2026 · Hours: noon–9:00 PM · Location: Faena Beach, behind Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Dates: December 1–6, 2026 · Hours: noon–9:00 PM · Location: Faena Cathedral, Faena District, Miami Beach.

Planning your visit

• Allow time to visit both Faena Beach and the Faena Cathedral; they are separate locations within the Faena District.
• The public commissions are described as free, but the Major Lazer concert has its own event/ticket arrangements.
• Confirm the latest daily programming and access information with Faena Art before setting a schedule.
