Art Fairs 2024

Open Invitational, Palm Court

December 2- 8

THE OPEN INVITATIONAL is a new fair dedicated to progressive art studios showcasing the work of artists with mental and physical disabilities, with the aim of  building our artists’ careers and in the process dismantling outmoded hierarchies in the contemporary art world.  With openness as our guiding principle we seek to broaden public awareness of progressive art studios and disseminate incredible, unique, and urgent art to collectors and institutions.  

THE OPEN INVITATIONAL was founded by gallerist David Fierman and arts patron Ross McCalla / The Outsider Institute.  We thank Craig Robins / Miami Design District for their generous support.
