Now ask yourself: How are the best of these projects honored, after the lights have dimmed and the loaned artworks have headed home?

She has achieved this by founding a nonprofit eligible to receive donations via the long-established arts service organization Fractured Atlas. The program is gaining awareness through a series of events that highlight its nominees and winners, hosted thus far in Miami, San Francisco, New York, and London.<\/p>\n<p>One of GFAA\u2019s broader goals is to remind the public that art holds the uniquely powerful capacity to bring the world\u2019s people together. The latest crop of nominees \u2014 which reflects projects that opened to the public between August 1, 2017, and July 31, 2018 \u2014 will be announced publicly on Tuesday, October 9, at the National Arts Club in New York City. Peter Trippi, editor-in-chief of\u00a0<i>Fine Art Connoisseur,<\/i>\u00a0and GFAA board member Betsie Piussan will reveal which exhibitions and installations from around the world are in the running for the 5th Annual GFAA Awards. Last year, after a formal review of more than 2,000 potential nominees, 85 nominees were selected from 28 countries across six continents. An equally diverse group of nominees is anticipated this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8236\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8236 td-animation-stack-type0-2\" src=\"https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-1024x683.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/fineartconnoisseur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Fine-art-news-Gallerist-Leila-Heller-629x420.jpg 629w\" alt=\"Global Fine Art Awards\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leila Heller, one of the most respected art dealers in the Middle East and New York, whose roster of international artists furthers the global presence of significant artists in the world, including Farideh Lashai, whose British Museum exhibition received a GFAA Honorable Mention in 2017.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On October 9, GFAA will present three hours of TED Talk\u2013style presentations offering intriguing expert perspectives on the art world.

A broad set of criteria is utilized to research and assess the prospective nominees, with continuous review of more than 50 sources of print and online editorial and critiques. Through them, more than 200 museums and 2,000 exhibitions are vetted by members of the Art Research Committee, who also offer personalized assessments based on their own exhibition viewing. In addition to the research-based nominations, GFAA accepts nominations from any member of the public.<\/p>\n<p>The Nominating Committee reviews the slate prepared by the Art Research Committee, then presents its findings and final approvals to the judges. These judges modify and select the final slate of nominees, then vote on the finalists and winners. Geography, institutional size, and diversity of artists\u2019 ethnicity and gender are essential considerations within the process. There is also a broad representation in size, with 40 percent of nominees drawn from the world\u2019s 100 most heavily visited art museums and the remaining 60 percent from smaller institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fine Art Connoisseur Sep 10, 2018 2018 Global Fine Art Awards Nomination Event &amp;
