Get ready, Lincoln Road: Miami Art Week is about to spill out of the white tents and into the streets.
The iconic Miami Beach promenade has unveiled its Art Week 2025 lineup, featuring 14 large-scale public installations from international and local artists. From a bubblegum-pink inflatable giant to a bronze couch full of endangered animals, Lincoln Road is once again proving why it’s one of the city’s most accessible cultural stages.
Headlining the program is French artist Philippe Katerine’s “Mr. Pink Takes Flight,” a whimsical series of five inflatables and one sculpture, some towering up to 20 feet. Perched on rooftops and sidewalks, these cartoon-like figures embody Katerine’s philosophy of Mignonisme (or “Cuteism”), turning everyday spaces into playful dreamscapes. Produced in collaboration with EXMURO and rentingART, “Mr. Pink” will be on view through April 2026, adding a dose of humor and joy to Miami Beach’s cultural district.
The open-air gallery will also debut “La Herencia Viva” by Miami-based Colombian artist Oscar Esteban Martinez. Selected as the winner of Lincoln Road’s inaugural Call to Artists program, Martinez’s mirrored human face installation invites viewers to literally see themselves reflected in the work while exploring themes of identity and belonging. Chosen from more than 75 international submissions, it’s both a personal and communal statement, and a new anchor for the promenade’s growing public art collection.
Brazilian-born, New York-based artist Rubem Robierb brings two interactive works: “Dream Machine,” a set of soaring wings that encourage visitors to step inside and imagine their own wishes fulfilled, and “Empower Flower,” a sweeping, lotus-inspired sculpture symbolizing rebirth and resilience. Robierb, who designed Miami’s official 2026 FIFA World Cup Host City poster, is known for creating pieces that spark personal reflection while doubling as Instagram catnip.
Animal lovers, meanwhile, will recognize the hand of Gillie and Marc, the duo behind some of New York’s most recognizable public art. Their new Lincoln Road works include “The Wild Couch Party,” a 40-foot bronze installation where endangered species gather on an oversized sofa, plus the playful “Watch Out for Paparazzi Dog” and “Watch Out for Paparazzi Rabbit.” These join existing pieces by the artists already installed on the promenade, making Lincoln Road something of an outdoor retrospective for the prolific pair.
Beyond the big-name installations, Lincoln Road continues to pulse as a year-round cultural hub. Multiple boutique galleries, a monthly art walk and anchors like the New World Symphony and Colony Theatre make the stretch a natural destination for art lovers long after Art Week has ended.
Miami Art Week can sometimes feel like a flurry of VIP lounges and velvet ropes, but Lincoln Road offers something refreshingly democratic: Art that’s free, accessible and impossible to miss. Whether you’re a local on your morning coffee run or an art-loving tourist, Lincoln Road’s latest lineup makes the case that some of the week’s most memorable art is waiting under the open sky.
