The Best Art Shows to See in Miami, March 2025

It's March, which means Miami's spring break fever is in full swing. Revelers fly in for sun and fun, and Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival draw EDM fanatics from around the country. If you want to avoid all that, the art scene can be a good way to do so, especially with plenty of interesting shows from well-known artists in the realms of photography, painting, and even some traditional crafts. You'll find it all far from the bass-boom of a club sound system or the burning heat of the beach. Check out our favorite art shows to see in March 2025.

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

Shuling Guo at Mindy Solomon

Mindy Solomon Gallery's usual round of three openings at once has a clear standout in the luminous paintings of Chinese artist Shuling Guo. Drawing inspiration from temple murals in her native Chaoshan, Emily Dickinson's Herbarium, and her recent experience with childbirth and motherhood, the soft pastel colors and geometric shapes in the show, titled "Temple," also recall the work of Hilma af Klint and the Transcendental Painting Group. The gallery also has shows by California-based, Japanese-trained ceramicist Jay Kvapil and local textile artist Yanira Collado, winner of last year's Florida Prize. All three shows opened February 23 and run through March 29. Mindy Solomon Gallery, 848 NW 22nd St., Miami; 786-953-9617; mindysolomon.com.

Rose Marie Cromwell at VISU Contemporary

Coming off a well-regarded show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami titled "A Geological Survey," photographer Rose Marie Cromwell presents a show of 25 photographs, many never before seen, at VISU Contemporary in Miami Beach. "Rare Earth" features images from the same trip that inspired the ICA show, many of which feature the artist traveling the American landscape with her daughter in tow. The show opened March 1 and runs until April 5. VISU Contemporary, 2160 Park Ave., Miami Beach; 305-496-5180; visugallery.com.

"Disquieting Spaces" at Edge Zones

Subtitled "Exploring Feminine Realities," this group show curated by Gabriela Keddell at Edge Zones in Allapattah is perfectly timed for Women's History Month.

Karol Radziewski at Voloshyn

Kyiv-originated Allapattah gallery Voloshyn is putting a spotlight on its neighbors to the west with a show of paintings by Polish artist Karol Radziszewski. In "Afternoon of a Faun," the painter takes on legendary dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky — infamous for injecting sexuality and queerness into ballet and dancing to groundbreaking music by Stravinsky and Debussy — with a series of bold, colorful portraits that view the dancer through a queer lens. The show opened March 1. Voloshyn Gallery, 802 NW 22nd St, Miami; 786-461-5800; voloshyngallery.art.

Gabriela Garcia D’alta at Tunnel

On March 1, Little Havana's Tunnel Projects debuted a show from Gabriela Garcia D'Alta that digs deep into the theme of throwaway culture. D'Alta scavenges discarded and found objects and turns them into totemic artworks as a comment on and means of confronting the wastefulness of contemporary society. Tunnel Projects, 300 SW 12th Ave., Miami; tunnelprojects.com. Open by appointment only.

Gustavo Nazareno at Opera Gallery

Opera Gallery's two Miami-area locations each debuted shows by Brazilian artist Gustavo Nazareno this month.

Cara Despain at Dimensions Variable

Three years after her memorable show "Specter" at the Bass, Cara Despain returns to Miami with a small presentation at Dimensions Variable in Little River. Inspired by mourning sculptures created by European aristocrats to adorn their tombs, "Mourner" takes the theme and applies it on a macro scale, grieving a world irreparably damaged by climate change and ecological collapse. Opened Saturday, March 8, at Dimensions Variable, 101 NW 79th St., Miami; 305-615-3532; dimensionsvariable.net.

Artist, collector, and former Knight Foundation head and CEO of Oolite Arts Dennis Scholl will show his own artwork at Piero Atchugarry Gallery in Little Haiti this month in a show curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah titled "The Melody Haunts My Reverie."

Opening Saturday, March 15 at Piero Atchugarry Gallery, 5520 NE Fourth Ave., Miami; 305-639-8247; pieroatchugarry.com.
