Gallery Committee

Design Miami/ Gallery Committee members serve as exemplary pillars of the design community and must respect and uphold the standards that guide the gallery selection process. Gallery members are expected to operate exclusively in their areas of expertise as defined by the fair and the committee.

Design Miami/ strives to facilitate optimal conditions for all exhibitors and visitors to the fair by cultivating a diverse selection of distinguished exhibitions. To achieve this goal, the fair relies on the support of the committee, an authoritative group of participating gallerists and Design Miami/’s Show Management team. The Gallery Committee assesses exhibitor proposals and makes selections based on exhibition quality and compatibility with the fair’s curatorial concept and selection criteria.
