George Davis Fine Art & Antiques Gallery, 408 Bull, Some of my favorite artists include ceramicist Derek L. Situated in an 1820’s cotton warehouse, Gallery 209 has been operating for almost 50 years (!) with two floors packed with original art. Weyman, deeply influenced by Cezanne, was the co-founder of the Marchutz School in Aix, and has left a legacy of beautiful and richly colored abstract and impressionistic paintings. A native of Provence, Carcagno studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and creates impressionistic work richly shaped by Zen painting. This little jewel of a gallery is home to work by husband and wife painters Jacqueline Carcagno and William Weyman (1940-2015). Hun Gallery where you can pick up a highly collectible ‘Pete the Cat’ painting by Savannah-based artist James Dean.ĭaedalus Gallery, 408 Bull,

Most locals are familiar with the street-level Signature Gallery co-op., still going strong as it approaches its 30th year, and the fun, eclectic A.T. Check out their Instagram for news of regularly occurring shows and enjoy wandering through the beautifully restored mansion.Ĭity Market, between Ellis/Franklin Squares, Ĭity Market’s upstairs Art Center is home to over two dozen artists who deserve local support! Some of my favorites include the sweet grass basket maker Jery Taylor, and painters David Laughlin, Brian MacGregor, and Luba Lowry. 36th Street, ĭownstairs public galleries and upstairs private art studios are housed inside the gorgeous childhood home of local realtor Celia Dunn. Neither does it make mention of the many businesses such as La Terra Natural Oils and the Gallery Espresso coffee shop, which promote local artwork all year long: thank you.Ĭedar House Gallery, 122 E. My alphabetically ordered list is far from exhaustive, and I apologize in advance to galleries I have omitted. Not only will a Savannah connection give greater meaning to your art, but having a robust arts scene is good for the well-being of our city as a whole. Instead of searching on Amazon or clicking on a pop-up ad in your Instagram feed, please consider purchasing a piece of jewelry, a ceramic mug or sculpture, or a painting from a local artist this December…As numerous social media memes attest, there are no global supply chain issues when you buy local art! This holiday season I want you to be passionate too! I’ve compiled a list of local galleries and encourage you to plan a fun afternoon (or two) making the rounds. I write this bi-weekly art column because I’m passionate about art and supporting local artists.
