The Best Art Shows to See in Miami, July 2025

Apparently, summertime in Miami's art scene means it's time to get together. Plenty of galleries are putting on group presentations, including the latest in KDR's beloved "Florida Room" series and a Fredric Snitzer gallery show all about the color red. The Design District is pretty hot this month as well, and we're not talking about the pavement. David Castillo Gallery moves across the neighborhood, Dale Zine showcases the work of a local photographer, and ICA Miami hosts shows in its Expansion space. Here's your guide to the best art exhibitions in Miami this month.

All presentations are listed in the order they opened. Unless otherwise noted, events are free to attend and open to the public.

"Neither Here Nor There" at MIFA

Curated by Yi Chin Hsieh, "Neither Here Nor There" revolves around in-between states and liminal spaces, incorporating themes of migration, displacement, and cultural mixture that typify life in Miami. The group presentation at MIFA (Miami International Fine Arts) gallery, just outside Doral, features work from more than a dozen artists, including Véronica Pasman, Nicole Salcedo, Aida Tejada, Juan Henriquez, and Alelí Egües. The show is on view through Friday, July 25. Miami International Fine Arts, 5900 NW 74th Ave., Miami; 305-470-0009; mifamiami.com.

Martina Tuaty at Dale Zine

Miami-based Italian photographer Martina Tuaty's work has featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, among other places. At Dale Zine, she shows images of a more personal, localized nature; "In Rhythm With the Tides" captures the city in its slower moments, with photos of empty spaces and still lifes that reflect Miami's unique culture. The show opened June 14 and runs through the end of July. A launch party also debuted a monographic photo book of the same name, published by local platform Ardent Projects. Dale Zine, 50 NE 40th St., Miami; dalezineshop.com.

Debbie Kenote and Justin Long at Baker–Hall

Baker–Hall Gallery in Allapattah opened two new shows on June 14. "Even the Stump Agrees," from New York-based painter Debbi Kenote, features geometrically-shaped canvases with floral elements referencing Northwest Regional architecture. The show closes on Friday, July 20. Meanwhile, Miami-based artist Justin Long activates the gallery's garden with an installation titled S.O.S., referencing both personal and societal crises. The piece is on view through September. Baker–Hall Gallery, 1294 NW 29th St., Miami; 914-787-9210; bakerhall.art.

Manuel Mendive at Latin Art Core

Latin Art Core Gallery on Calle Ocho in Little Havana is staging a solo exhibition for Cuban painter Manuel Mendive. Having made a career out of his explorations of Afro-Cuban spiritual practices and their relation to alternative histories, "With the New Day, the Sun Shines and Leads Us" displays recent work from the painter, who has lived in Cuba for most of his life. The show opened June 19 and runs through August 31. Latin Art Core, 1646 SW Eighth St., Miami; 305-989-9085; latinartcore.com.

Alex Nuñez at Faena Art Project Room

Miami-based Cuban-American artist Alex Nuñez presents a new site-specific installation for the Faena Art Project Room in Miami Beach. "There's A Gator in the Pool" blends vibrant mixed-media paintings, tagged as "tropical surrealism" by the gallery, with a very literal manifestation of its title. (Don't worry, it won't bite). The show opened June 25. Faena Art Project Room, 3420 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; faenaart.org.

"Seeing Red" at Fredric Snitzer

Fredric Snitzer Gallery's summer group show keeps it simple with a show centered around the color red. Works by Hernan Bas, Ema Ri, Marielle Plaisir, Elena Dorfman, and other artists explore the multitude of thematic and artistic applications of this primary color that has come to symbolize dozens of different ideas over the ages, from blood, passion, and romance in the West to fortune and happiness in the East. The show opened June 26 and is on view through July 19. Fredric Snitzer Gallery, 1540 NW Miami Ct., Miami; 305-448-8976; snitzer.com.

"Florida Room IV" at KDR

Step back into the Florida Room at KDR. The Allapattah gallery's exhibition series returns for a fourth installment, this time focusing on artists working with found or discarded material. Elisa Arimany's sculptures incorporating kitchen implements, Luna Palazzolo-Daboul's rebar furniture, and Eva Robarts' twisted neon assemblages are among the featured artworks. The show opened June 27 and runs through August 30. KDR, 790 NW 22nd St., Miami; 305-392-0416; kdr305.com.

"Eso No Se Toca" at Supermarket Gallery

Nomadic gallery Supermarket is presenting a group show focusing on local artists at La Sala at Hoy Como Ayer in Little Havana. Pitched as an eclectic survey of Miami's ceramics scene, "Eso No Se Toca" ("Don't Touch That") features all manner of interesting pottery, from the funky to the functional. Participants include Noah Farid, Sarah and Samantha Ferrer, Hannah Banciella, Victor Urroz, and Brett Olivieri. The show opened June 27 and runs through August 15. La Sala at Hoy Como Ayer, 2212 SW Eighth St., Miami; supermarketgallery.com.

Eric Doeringer at ICA Miami Expansion

Ahead of a more extensive renovation, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami has started staging small-scale, short-running exhibitions in its Expansion building, the former de la Cruz Collection. A show on Greek painter Konstantino Dregos' abstract paintings closed on July 1; replacing it is an exhibit of appropriation paintings by Los Angeles-based Eric Doeringer. The artist's "Bootleg" paintings replicate works by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol, among others. The show runs through Thursday, July 31. Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, 61 NE 41st St., Miami; 305-901-5272; icamiami.org.

Juan Luis Matos at David Castillo Gallery

David Castillo Gallery moves from its current space in the Design District to a new one in the same neighborhood, adjacent to other galleries including Zilberman and Pan American Art Projects. Christening the new digs is a show from local artist and filmmaker Juan Luis Matos. "The Only Way Out is Love and Forgiveness" presents four archival films from Matos' family, documenting their lives as they migrated from Cuba to the U.S. across multiple countries. The artist also shows his feature The World is Not Our Home. David Castillo Gallery, 25 NE 39th St., Miami; 305-573-8810; davidcastillogallery.com.
