The Art Basel Experience

Each December, USMI presents at Art Basel Miami — one of the world’s most prestigious art fairs. Our presence at this global stage gives USMI artists direct access to the international art market, connects donors with the human stories behind the work, and raises critical funds for our programs.

Events span three days and include curated artist showcases, VIP receptions, silent auctions, and exclusive opportunities for institutional partners and Legacy Fund donors.
