MÍRAME Fine Art Heads to NYC for Future Fair, 7-10 May 2025

MÍRAME Fine Art is excited to announce its participation in the 5th edition of Future Fair, taking place in New York from May 7-10, 2025—coinciding with Frieze Week, when the global art world descends on Manhattan.

Future Fair has earned a reputation for its curated, artist-focused model, making it one of the most exciting platforms for emerging and mid-career contemporary artists. For MÍRAME, this marks a significant step just one year after launch, reinforcing our mission to champion Costa Rica’s  contemporary art scene on an international stage.

Future Fair: A Fresh Approach to the Art Fair Model

Unlike traditional fairs, Future Fair promotes a collaborative and inclusive approach, ensuring long-term support for galleries and artists. With a strong emphasis on diversity and fresh perspectives, the fair attracts engaged collectors, curators, and institutions looking for bold, innovative work.

For MÍRAME, Future Fair provides an opportunity to introduce Costa Rican contemporary art to a wider audience, particularly in New York—a city known for its dynamic, competitive art market.

The Rise of Costa Rican Contemporary Art

Costa Rica is known globally for its natural beauty and sustainability initiatives, but its contemporary art scene has been steadily gaining international recognition. While historically underrepresented in the global art market, Costa Rican artists are increasingly capturing the attention of collectors and institutions. The Latin American art market as a whole has seen a 34% increase in sales in the past five years, with record-breaking auction results and an expanding presence in major art fairs and biennials. Institutions such as MoMA, the Guggenheim, and LACMA have been strengthening their Latin American acquisitions, signalling a growing demand for artists from Central America.

Costa Rica’s contemporary art scene reflects a unique intersection of cultural heritage, urban evolution, and social commentary, making it an exciting and timely addition to this global conversation. As Costa Rica undergoes rapid urban and economic development, its artists are responding with work that explores shifting landscapes, memory, and identity—themes that resonate with collectors looking for thoughtful, conceptually engaging work with a strong visual impact.

The Future Fair momentum presents a strategic opportunity for Costa Rican artists to gain visibility on the global stage, and MÍRAME Fine Art is committed to positioning its artists at the forefront of this movement.

What to Expect from MÍRAME at Future Fair

We are excited to present work that reflects the depth and innovation of Costa Rican contemporary art. Our presentation will focus on themes of memory, space, and transformation, exploring how personal narratives and urban landscapes shape artistic expression. In particular, we are looking to engage an audience that values conceptually compelling and visually striking work, ensuring our artists resonate with both collectors and curators seeking fresh perspectives from Latin America.

"Our mission is to showcase Costa Rican contemporary art on international platforms," says Belinda Seppings, Co-Founder of MÍRAME. "Future Fair provides the ideal setting for our debut in New York, allowing us to engage with new audiences and be part of a fair that actively supports emerging voices. Recent pop-up events on the Papagayo Peninsula generated strong interest from U.S. collectors, and we’re excited to build on this momentum."

Expanding into the U.S. Market

New York, Miami, and Los Angeles have long been key hubs for Latin American contemporary art, with an established network of collectors and institutions supporting the region’s artists. Future Fair provides a key entry point for Costa Rican artists to gain meaningful exposure in the U.S., with collectors as well as with curators and institutional partners.
