Mia Leta creates unforgettable custom gowns for private showings at ARTECHOUSE Fashion week. It’s conveniently located just minutes away from The Stephen P. Clark Government Center and Art Basel in Miami Beach.
How much does it cost?
ARTECHOUSE is free to attend and open 24 hours a day. All you need is your I.D., so don’t worry if you forget your keys at home. There are 15 works of art inside, each one interactive in its way, allowing guests to create something new for themselves on a moment-to-moment basis.
Guests can choose from four types of outfits, and 18 different filters and take over the space in virtual reality using Oculus Rift equipment. They can also look through the artwork from outside the museum using their phones or tablets with Google Cardboard headsets and speakers.
What are the hours of operation?
ARTECHOUSE Miami is open daily, Monday-Friday from 11 am-6 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 11 am-7 pm.
Admission to the exhibit is complimentary of the price of the tour. Be sure to RSVP your spot on the website before coming out.
The last entry for any given day is 30 minutes before closing time, or when all galleries are full; whichever comes first. On weekends, admission will continue as long as galleries are not full but the last entry will be one hour before closing time on most Saturdays and Sundays. This can vary for some events so please check the calendar for specific dates.
Where can I park?
Since it is located in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District, parking options are plentiful. In addition, two street-side spots (Wynwood Blvd and NW 29th Street), and a back lot with plenty of free parking.
The staff will gladly point you in the right direction as you’re on your way in. That being said, the proximity also means that there is a great deal of foot traffic, so it’s always best to wear comfortable shoes!

When is the best time to visit?
Miami is home to tons of amazing sights and sounds. We should tell you when the best time to visit for each type of person. For party animals, a weekday evening will do just fine. Enjoying the late-night scene?
Friday and Saturday nights offer tons of fun from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. But it’s not all nightlife; Spring Break is awesome too with many festivals and concerts in the daytime. If you’re looking for family-friendly attractions, the One Spark festival always comes with something for everyone in tow.
Is photography allowed inside ARTECHOUSE Miami?
A complimentary iPhone photography pass is available from the ArtFactory representative. Passes are good for one, two, or three hours of photography and allow for as many photographs as you would like to take inside.
Guests may bring their cameras if they wish or can borrow a camera with an extra memory card. Visitors cannot use flash photography inside the gallery areas due to lighting levels. Cameras are allowed in some public spaces but there are restrictions on video recording because of sound recording equipment that is utilized by some artists and performers inside the facility.
