GIAF is organized entirely by artists and volunteers, and is guided by a hands-off curatorial approach that invites each exhibiting artist to freely interpret the atmospheric and physical experience of the spaces, and to engage with the historic narratives of the Island. In doing so, 4heads has cultivated a range of artistic visions, breathing new life into the once abandoned spaces.

For the 2017 edition, GIAF has once again expanded its exhibition platform to include the rarely seen spaces of Liggett Hall, a massive institutional building cutting most of the way across the island. The 4heads team is constantly on the look-out for more unique and compelling environments for the purpose of artistic reinterpretation.

Artwork shown below is a sampling of each exhibiting artist’s work.
