# Fridge Art Fair Miami 2026: Open Call for Artists

**Hosted by:** Fridge Art Fair

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** Miami, FL, United States | **Deadline:** October 31, 2026 | **Entry fee:** $35

## About This Program

### General Information

Fridge is the small but mighty art show that happens every year in New York and Miami. At Fridge, art is for everyone, and everyone is welcome to apply. This December, Fridge returns for Miami Art Week, the same week as Art Basel. The show runs December 1 to 6, 2026, in several venues in and around South Beach. The venues are listed at fridgeartfair.com.

### How We Choose

A jury reviews every work. Each work is judged on its own. If your work is accepted, we place it in one of our venues. We choose the spot. We cannot promise a certain venue, wall, or amount of space. The size requirements make sure every accepted work fits every venue. You will learn your venue with your acceptance on November 11.

### Cost

$35 for each work you submit, paid on CaFE when you apply. If your work is accepted, there is nothing more to pay. We take no commission on sales. You keep 100 percent of anything you sell. You and the buyer arrange the sale directly. Application fees are non-refundable.

### Key Dates

- Deadline: Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time

### Common Questions

Can I ship my work? No. Every work must be dropped off and picked up in person by you or your proxy or friend.

Can I submit more than one work? Yes. Finish one application, then start another. Each work costs $35 and is judged on its own. Space is limited, but every work will be considered.

Can I show sculpture or something that does not hang? Maybe. Write to info@fridgeartfair.com before you apply. We will review requests case by case.

Do I have to be there? You or your proxy or friend must be there for drop off, opening night, and pickup.

What if I cannot collect my work? Write to us before pickup ends and we will do what we can. Work left behind may be charged storage and shipping fees.

What does it cost? It costs $35 for each work you submit. If your work is accepted, there is nothing more to pay. We take no commission on sales. Application fees are non-refundable.

### Application Requirements

Each application is for one work. It costs $35 to apply. Upload one or two photos of the work. The work in your photos is the exact work you will show if accepted. We accept flat, wall-hung work: painting, photography, prints, drawing, and other 2D art. To submit another work, just apply again. You can apply as many times as you like. Each work is judged on its own. The application has eight short questions.
