Global Fine Art Awards (GFAA) is the first annual award program ever created to recognize the best curated art and design exhibitions and installations around the world.\u00a0 The research and judging criteria are innovation and excellence in exhibition design, historical context, educational value, and public appeal. This year is the fourth edition.<\/p>\n
The 2017 edition of GFAA presents two new awards \u2013 Global Planet and Global Humanity. These awards further highlight the program\u2019s mission to broaden the audience for art and elevate its importance in society.<\/p>\n
