The Art Basel Awards Night marks its second edition on December 3, 2026, at the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center in Miami Beach, during Art Basel’s invitation-only Preview Days.
Presented in partnership with BOSS, the ceremony will reveal the 2026 Gold Awardees, selected by peer vote from this year’s Art Basel Medalists. The list spans artists, patrons, curators, institutions, and cultural figures, including Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Arthur Jafa, Julie Mehretu, Laurie Anderson, Pamela J. Joyner, Theaster Gates, and the Diriyah Biennale Foundation. The second BOSS Award for Outstanding Achievement will also be presented during the evening.
The inaugural edition mixed the awards ceremony with live performance before guests moved to a rooftop after-party, drawing names from art, fashion, music, and entertainment.
