Governor’s Island Art Fair
Governors Island Art Fair (GIAF) is an annual event on Governors Island in New York Harbor presented by The 4heads Collective. It is an exhibition created entirely by artists and volunteers working together to share in the public space generously provided by the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation. Housed in a deserted army barracks, the fair exhibits the work of over 100 artists from around the world, working in all disciplines. The founders and organizers have established a hands-off curatorial environment, inviting the individual artists to create an experience of their own. This allows viewers, an estimated 40,000 annually, an opportunity to see artwork – unrestrained by curatorial limitations – by some of the world's best independent artists in a beautiful, historic park setting.
