Art Research Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the year, the GFAA Art Research Committee searches to identify the best exhibitions and installations across the globe.\u00a0 The basis for the research and selection of nominees is ongoing and thorough review of over 50 sources of art editorial and critique. More than 2,000 exhibitions are vetted during the process.<\/p>\n

Open Call Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the research-based nominations, GFAA accepts open calls from museums, biennials, fairs, galleries and other art organizations. Individual patrons may nominate as well. THANK YOU! for your participation.<\/p>\n

Selection and Voting <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nominating Committee convenes to review the list of all potential nominees, and deliberates to select a proposed slate.<\/p>\n

Then, the GFAA Judges review the proposed slate, then make additions and deletions to create the official list of nominees.\u00a0 This year’s nominees will be announced in by early November.<\/p>\n

GFAA will announce the Nominees via press release, and on the GFAA website in September. The Winners are announced live in NYC at the award ceremony in Spring 2021.<\/p>\n

Two additional awards, Youniversal and YOU-2, are determined by online and social media public voting. All Nominees are eligible to win these coveted awards.<\/p>\n
