Red Dot Art Fair — Attraction in Miami

Artists beware. Over 85% of the solo artists did not make sales to even cost the booth fee. The staff are extremely rude when asked for advice. Mark Shapiro said he had no time for the artists. Poor advertising to attract quality buyers. Owner told artists at opening meeting to not expect any sales but it was our attitude to blame if there was no buyers. They failed in Dallas and now Miami. Majority of return artists said they were not coming back. Highly recommend finding a different art fair or gallery. Check and contact past artists before paying.

The very few buyers were looking for super cheap artwork. Don't trust the staff. Bring a wide variety of prices and sizes with prints. Mostly abstract art or wall art sold. Miami was a waste of money. Other gallery owners even talk artists to not take it personally because this art fair has lost its value in the art scene. This was not a professional event. Very disappointed. We all will not be returning. I hope others speak up about the poor...

Amenities within the venue: bathrooms, bars, and a few food stands for empanadas and light easy things to bite on. Dogs to my surprised are allowed. I saw a lot of dogs and service dogs as well. I had a good experience from beginning to end people were friendly and I...

I would not go out of your way to come to this event. The traffic surrounding this area is pretty bad, there is no parking, and they would not let us in with the tickets we purchased 15 minutes before closing. So, the hours were falsely advertised. They did not close at the end time listed, the end time listed is when they stop letting people in and they are open for another hour or longer. The event was nowhere near full. Huge disappointment, I wouldn't...
