Art Basel Miami Beach and Design Miami is listed for December 2 to 6, 2026 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Art Basel Miami Beach is a contemporary art fair where galleries, artists and collectors meet. Design Miami runs the same days next door, showing collectible furniture, lighting and objects. Graphink prints, delivers and installs graphics for exhibitors from our shop in Doral.
What Art Basel Is About
Together they anchor Miami Art Week, when satellite fairs, brand pop-ups and private events fill Miami Beach and Wynwood. Galleries arrive with the art. Almost everything around the art is printed locally: wall text, wayfinding, window vinyl and event graphics.
What Exhibitors Need Here
Gallery work is unforgiving. Vinyl lettering has to sit dead level, colors have to be neutral, and nothing can damage a wall that is repainted between shows.
- Cut vinyl wall text and artist labels
- Window graphics and temporary storefront signage for pop-ups
- Step and repeat backdrops for openings and brand events
- Wall murals and large-format prints for activations
The Fair in Numbers
Art Basel announced 272 exhibitors from more than 40 countries and territories for 2026, on a reconfigured and somewhat smaller show floor. The main Galleries sector holds 204 of them. Nova presents 20 galleries showing new work, and Positions has 12 solo projects by emerging artists. VIP preview days are December 2 and 3. Public days are December 4 to 6.
Art Week Is Bigger Than the Fair
The convention center is the center of gravity, but most of the printing happens around it. During the same week there are satellite fairs across Miami Beach, Wynwood and downtown, including Spectrum and Red Dot Miami at Mana Wynwood. Luxury brands, hotels, banks and car makers stage pop-ups, dinners and installations.
That work is fast and exacting. A storefront is taken for ten days and needs window vinyl, a facade sign and interior graphics, then has to be returned clean. A hotel lobby becomes an exhibition for four nights. A brand wants a mural painted or printed on a Wynwood wall before the VIP preview.
What Galleries Ask Us For
Galleries rarely need a booth built. The fair provides the walls. What they need is small and precise: vinyl wall text with artist names, a reprinted label when a work sells and is replaced, a price list, a stack of cards. The standard is high. Lettering must be level and evenly spaced, and removal must leave no trace on a painted wall.
When to Order
- Three weeks or more before: Pop-up build-outs, murals, facade signage and anything needing permits or building approval from the property owner.
- One to two weeks before: Window graphics, wall text, step and repeat backdrops and printed collateral.
- Show week: Replacement labels, extra wall text, last-minute event signage. We keep capacity for this, because Art Week always produces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install vinyl lettering on a booth wall overnight?
Usually, yes. Send the text, typeface and wall dimensions. We cut, pre-space and install, and we remove it cleanly after the fair.
Do you work on Art Week events outside the convention center?
Yes. Most of our Art Week work is for pop-ups, hotels and brand events across Miami Beach and Wynwood.
Can you install in a rented storefront and remove everything afterward?
Yes. We install window and wall graphics for short-term pop-ups and remove them cleanly at the end of the lease.
Can you produce a mural in Wynwood for Art Week?
We print and install large-format wall graphics. Tell us the wall size and surface. The property owner arranges any permission needed.
Do you work nights during Art Week?
Installation is often scheduled outside opening hours. Tell us your access window and we will plan around it.
