Three Days of Art, Culture and Football Featuring Original Works from Bengals Cornerback Marco Wilson and NFL Legend Martellus Bennett
NEW YORK – Nov. 20, 2025 – The National Football League returns to Miami Art Week with an expanded NFL Artist Replay experience, celebrating the intersection of football, art and creativity through a weekend of curated programming during Art Basel in Miami.
This year’s showcase, curated by cultural tastemaker Kendall Hurns, features six dynamic artists (including Calvin Clausell Jr. , Kayla Mahaffey, McFlyy, Joseph Anthony Perez a.k.a. Sentrock and Sydnie & Haylie Jimenez) whose works explore how creativity continues to shape the league’s cultural impact beyond the game. For the first time, an active NFL player, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Marco Wilson, and NFL Legend Martellus Bennett will debut their own original artwork, adding a new dimension to the lineup and offering fans an unexpected look at how players express themselves beyond the field. The weekend will open with a private gallery event on Friday evening, bringing together athletes, artists and cultural tastemakers to preview the new works debuting at this year’s gallery showcase.
“Utilizing our platform as a league to highlight amazing artists with a passion for football has become another important way for the league to connect with new fans and communities,” said Ian Trombetta, NFL senior vice president of social, influencer and content marketing. “We’re excited to return to Miami Art Week with NFL Artist Replay to provide NFL players, legends, and emerging artists a credible space to share their artwork and reflect the culture that surrounds the game.”
Located in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, the NFL Artist Replay gallery opens its doors on Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET for the sports and art community to experience the artwork up close, sit in on live panel discussions with NFL Legends taking the stage as artists and collectors, celebrate art and culture, and tap into game day energy with a Miami Dolphins game day watch party.

Throughout the weekend, guests can visit the Starter Maker’s Studio inside the gallery to purchase limited-edition pieces and customize their merchandise with exclusive graphics and patches, available while supplies last.
