Savannah Art Walk

The second Saturday of the month is the  Savannah Art Walk.  The Savannah Art Walk is a fun monthly art event where local artists are featured in galleries and stores.  The welcome reception was held at the Bohemian Riverfront Hotel, a boutique hotel on Bay Street with views overlooking the river. Red and white wine was flowing and it is where you pick up the art walk map.  Hosted by artist and entrepreneur Tiffani Taylor, a few of the local artists were on hand to talk about their work.  Then the walk started.  You have three hours to visit as many galleries as possible. The more galleries you attend, the better because if you attend 10 or more galleries, you are entered into a raffle that takes place at the Andaz Hotel.   I did,  and I won a sample of L’Occitane products. [My hands have never been this soft.]

I was excited to attend the walk since I met Tiffani Taylor at the beginning of the summer.  It was great to walk around and meet new people, talk to artists about their work and learn more about Savannah.  I was especially impressed at the art at Kobo Gallery. Coincidentally, one of the artists is my neighbors, Dana Richardson.

Anyway, I had a blast, and I highly recommend attending Savannah Art Walk every month.  In the past, I thought about getting a master’s degree in arts administration,  so this is not coming out of left field. I enjoy art, and I was a volunteer at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and an intern for an arts organization in college.  The art walk has also inspired me to curate a show of Savannah artists in New York. I don’t know how I can do it, but it’s possible.  I believe in infinite possibilities.
