October 29, 2021 // Celebrating its 20th anniversary edition, SCOPE Miami Beach returns to its bespoke pavilion on the sands of Ocean Drive and 8th Street. Honoring its perpetual mission to provide a platform for discovery, SCOPE will welcome over 127 diverse contemporary exhibitors featuring The New Contemporary, a genre that stands as a critical contribution to both global politics and local community engagement.

Looking back on nearly 20 years of SCOPE, Alexis Hubshman reflects, “Over the last twenty years, I’ve had a front-row seat as the art world has transformed under the rise of the art fair. From scrappy upstart to creative R&D, SCOPE has played many defining roles in this reconfiguration of the gatekeeper. Much has come full circle in the past two decades since we started the original satellite art fair, and I am proud that SCOPE remains an incubator for new voices and a place that gives artists the opportunity to take risks.” 

PLAYGROUND DETROIT is pleased to announcement our participation in SCOPE Miami Beach 2021.  

THE NEW CONTEMPORARY

New to the SCOPE pavilion this year is The New Contemporary Presents curation, an experiential multidisciplinary program located in our expanded Atrium. The New Contemporary will present daily programming featuring large scale installations, music performances, and panel discussions during the day while continuing our long-standing commitment to wellness. Guests are encouraged to attend morning healing and guided meditation sessions, against the backdrop of beautiful South Beach. This multi-day destination will transform after-hours to a premium nightlife experience and feature world-class music talent at night.

SCOPE Miami Beach opens on November 30, with its Platinum First View and VIP + Press Preview, and will open to the public December 01-05, 2021.
