WELCOME TO THE NEW NORTH CHARLESTON 2024

TGAF is a multidisciplinary and multicultural art fair that will be hosted annually within the City of North Charleston. Founded by arts industry leader, pioneer, and Charleston native Okeeba Jubalo as a means to showcase a myriad of low-country and south-eastern creatives who deserve a world-class platform.

Our mission is to bring the world to North Charleston. Every major city has a major arts platform, and this will be the catalyst for turning North Charleston into the Lowcountry’s epicenter of arts and culture.

​

TGAF was a natural progression for its founder, Okeeba Jubalo, who created and led the Atlanta Exhibition for nearly a decade. With nearly thirty years of experience as an executive creative director, his curation and cultural programming experience quickly fueled #ATLANTAFAE into becoming one of the pinnacle fine art experiences in Atlanta, Georgia, gaining hundreds of guests with each opening reception.

​

This latest arts initiative was fueled by his desire to showcase artists within and outside of Charleston by placing them on the world’s stage. The level of talent within the Lowcountry community is truly amazing and deserves to be showcased to a much broader audience.

​

These exhibits and showcases will serve as a springboard to nationally launch our artists, who will surely become household names. Miami has Art Basel, and North Charleston now has the Global Art Fair.
