New York, NY – The Global Fine Art Awards (GFAA) program announces the winners for its seventh edition – selected from the 116 nominees, this year’s awardees represent 5 continents and 18 countries following the year-long research process to discover the best curated art and design exhibitions and independent projects around the world.
The public announcement of the 7th annual Global Fine Art Awards winners takes place today via GFAA Facebook today at 6:00 pm CEST (12:00 pm EST).
GFAA conducts extensive year-round research of more than 2,000 curated exhibitions and installations across the globe, designating awards for group and themed exhibitions, as well as awards for solo artist exhibitions. GFAA spotlights works produced every year voicing the connection of art to society’s pressing issues as exemplified in two awards launched in 2017 – Global Planet and Global Humanity.
