December 1–6 | Carousel Fine Art At Art Miami
CFA MIAMI
Carousel Fine Art returns to Art Miami this December, taking a booth inside One Herald Plaza for what the fair calls the most important week for contemporary art in the United States. VIP Preview opens December 1; the fair stays open to the public through December 6.

Nemo Jantzen comes back to the fair where his now-signature Thread series first debuted in 2018, this time with new nail-and-thread portraits. Alexi Torres paints from the interlaced brushwork of Cuban textile tradition, weaving mythology into every canvas one thread at a time. Eric Alfaro brings his impasto florals and aquatic scenes, built up in thick, sculptural strokes of oil and acrylic. Caroline Dechamby insert herself into art-history icons like Basquiat, Picasso, and Mondrian.

Art Miami's VIP Preview opens December 1; the fair is open to the public through December 6, 2026.
November 12–15 | A David Yarrow Spotlight at Miami Polo
CFA MIAMI
Carousel Fine Art spotlights David Yarrow this November at the World Polo League's Beach Polo World Cup. Taking place on the sand at Collins Park, Miami Beach, November 12 through 15.

Few photographers have spent as much time in the field with horses as Yarrow, and polo's mix of speed, scale, and spectacle sits naturally inside a catalogue built on large-format, black-and-white drama. The result puts his photography in front of the audience that gathers on that stretch of sand every November for high-stakes spectacle.

Carousel's spotlight runs alongside the tournament, November 12 through 15, 2026, on the sand at Collins Park, Miami Beach.
October 7–10th | Carousel Fine Art at the Chicago Art Fair 2026
CFA CHICAGO
Carousel Fine Art takes a 1,000-square-foot booth into the inaugural Chicago Art Fair this October, joining a select group of galleries inside The Mart from October 7 through 10.

Six artists anchor the presentation, each with a different answer to what a fair wall is for. Isabelle Scheltjens's fused-glass and marble busts interpret portraiture through a contemporary lens. Taher Jaoui fuses mathematical precision with gestural abstraction, graffiti and symbolic notation across his large-scale canvases. Gregory Watin builds his mixed-media collages from plexiglass, wood, and cardboard, turning a weathered cityscape into something worth a second look. Eric Alfaro layers oil and acrylic into thick, sculptural texture, coaxing florals and aquatic life out of the canvas with a palette knife instead of a brush. Nemo Jantzen's nail-and-thread portraits accompany Rodrigo Franzao's folded-paper, textile-inspired compositions.

Carousel's booth is open for the fair's full run at The Mart, October 7 through 10, 2026, including opening night.

October 8th | The Weight of Play Opening Reception
CFA CHICAGO
Adam Umbach's The Weight of Play opens at Carousel Fine Art Chicago on October 8, the exhibition's second stop after its debut at the gallery's Lenox Square location in Atlanta this past spring. Umbach, who was born and raised in Chicago, paints each composition first with his dominant hand in photorealistic detail, then returns with his non-dominant hand to add loose, naive marks. The show brings new paintings in oil, acrylic, enamel, and oil stick together with select works that debuted in Atlanta, following recurring motifs like goldfish, bumblebees, and lily pads across shifting fields of color.

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, October 8, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM CST at Carousel Fine Art Chicago, 230 W Superior Street, in the heart of River North.
