The City of Miami Beach, with the support of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) and the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA), is pleased to announce the 2026 edition of No Vacancy, Miami Beach.
No Vacancy is a juried art competition that supports and celebrates mainly local artists, provokes critical discourse, and encourages the public to experience Miami Beach’s famed hotels as temporary art destinations in their own right. No Vacancy 2026 marks the program’s seventh edition presenting 12 artists creating site-specific works at 12 iconic Miami Beach hotels. The installations will be on view from November 12 through December 19, 2026.
Each selected artist or collective will receive a stipend of USD 10,000 to realize their project at each hotel location. Artists are drawn from a call for submissions issued by the city and selected by representatives from the City of Miami Beach Art in Public Places Committee, Cultural Arts Council (CAC) and MBVCA.
For the seventh edition of No Vacancy, USD 35,000 in prizes will be awarded to two selected participants, featuring a USD 10,000 Public Prize by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau and a USD 25,000 Juried Prize awarded by a jury of local art professionals.
