Event Staff for Miami Art Week 2026: A Planning Guide
Miami Art Week fills the city with gallery openings, private dinners and pop-ups. Art Basel Miami Beach runs 4–6 December 2026 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with preview days on 2–3 December. If you host that week, plan your staff early; if you work events, it is a busy week to be ready for. Chambazo is not affiliated with Art Basel or any venue.
Plan the crew
Count the roles before the headcount: bar, passed food or table service, door and check-in, coat check, setup and teardown. For load-in and breakdown, plan roughly 1–2 staff per 50 guests, the same rule of thumb as our event-staff guide.
Write the real schedule: call time, end time, dress code, what to carry, and how to arrive.
Post early, then fill the gaps
Many hosts plan staff well ahead of that week. Post as soon as your date and hours are set. You can still post later for a last-minute gap, but whether anyone applies depends on who is available.
What it costs
In Miami the modelled planning range for bartenders is $28–$48/hr and for event staff $22–$34/hr. It is not transaction data or an offer; you set the actual rate.
Your total is the posted rate × hours × number of staff, plus about 15% on top, shown before you publish. Workers keep 100% of the posted pay.
If you want to work that week
Finish your profile and payout setup before December so you can apply as soon as gigs are posted. Applying is for people 18 and older.
