The Immigrant Artist Biennial (TIAB) presents work by U.S based immigrant artists from around the world. TIAB sets out to form an international dialogue through exhibition of ambitious projects and events with an aim to facilitate a diverse and experimental discourse as well as build a globally connected and united community in the times of extreme anti-immigrant sentiment, unrest, discrimination and exclusion. Established and directed in 2019, by Immigrant Artist, Curator, Organizer and Educator, Katya Grokhovsky and led by a team of arts professionals, including curatorial advisers Mary Annunziata, Allison Cannella and Anna Mikaela Ekstrand, exhibition manager Katherine Adams, exhibition designer Selena Liu and digital production manager Alex Sullivan, TIAB seeks to facilitate a platform of support for projects by often overlooked and silenced voices.

The premier edition of The Immigrant Artist Biennial (TIAB) 2020: HERE, TOGETHER! is conceptualized around the theme of otherness, separation and alienation presents overseas-born immigrant artists, based in US, who work in various mediums. TIAB 2020 launched in March 2020 at Brooklyn Museum, and resumes in September through to December 2020 at EFA Project Space , Greenwood Cemetery and virtually, exhibiting 60+ artists. TIAB is based on the premise of equal gender and race representation, highlighting the inequality and bias which is still prevalent in the art world today. Since April 2019, TIAB has presented eight soft launch fundraising events in various venues across NYC, including: Radiator Arts, Assembly Room, East Village Art View, Art & Social Activism, Kickstarter and Chashama. TIAB is run by a volunteer team and is Fiscally Sponsored by New York Foundation for the Arts.
