Feria Clandestina announces its fourth edition, HERE NOW | AQUÍ AHORA, and continues its collaboration with Activate Hospitality and the iconic Gold Dust Motel. The fair remains—and leads—as Miami’s only community-incubator art fair, a gathering place for independent creativity, experimentation, and cultural exchange.
Rooted as a collateral art initiative for artists, galleries, and independent projects, Clandestina continues to build ecosystems that foster curatorial opportunity and dialogue. The fourth edition brings together 29 exhibitor rooms and five special projects, showcasing the work of 90 local, national, and international artists.
