Fur, Feathers, Familiars is a spirited celebration of the animal kingdom, explored through both functional and sculptural ceramics. From creatures that roam, fly, and burrow to the beloved companions that share our lives, this exhibition highlights the enduring inspiration animals provide to ceramic artists. Whimsical, reverent, and imaginative, the works transform clay into vessels and forms that honor the character, spirit, and symbolism of our fellow beings. Juried by ceramic artist and goat aficionado Christy Culp, the exhibition brings together a diverse range of voices and approaches, inviting viewers to experience the warmth, humor, and wonder of animals rendered in clay.

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 8 5:30-8PM

Savannah Center for Photography’s inaugural exhibition "SCP Presents" opens during the Open House on Friday, June 26 at 5-9PM!

Artists have donated works that will be for sale to help fund our new nonprofit community darkroom, gallery and workshop space. Come see these and other works by our supporting artists: J. W. Toftness, Martin Bell, Anna Ottum, Anna Bliss, Marsalis Eason, Rebecca Nolan, Nathaniel Thompson, Jackie Black, and Salvador Martinez-Saucedo.

Cleo the Project Space is pleased to present Earth Windows, a two person show featuring the work of Noah Reyes and Yanira Vissepó. This exhibition is a union of both artists’ work situated in the spectacle of memory through excavated and recreated landscapes.

At the center of this showcase is a large-scale installation that features framing from Reyes using the raw materials of 2x4’s and plywood as a position to revisit their adolescence growing up on construction sites. Within the exploration of Mexican-American diaspora that has shaped their family mythologies in a blend of lore and phenomenon there is a motive that is steadfast to unearthing a personal narrative in totality. Inside the formalities of their build sites, Reyes leaves personal mementos like imprinted photos and drawings on the bones of the build creating a site incarnated as the homage to this unearthing.

Situated in the windows of this structure and beyond lies the work of Vissepó, mixed media pieces focused on the hybridization of flora native to her birthplace of Puerto Rico and Coastal Georgia. Utilizing stain painting, linocut printmaking, cyanotype, dye resists, and hand embroidery, Vissepó creates landscapes that evoke a blended vision of world building situated on transition and migration. Her conception of home is woven between the fragility of a natural world that melds both her adoption of the American South along with her motherland of Puerto Rico. The coral colors in her work conjuring the Caribbean grow their vibrancy in celebration and joy, a reminder of the power of cross-cultural connections forged within the layered discourse of Puerto Rican diaspora.

Earth Windows is on view at Cleo the Project Space June 19th - July 25th, 2026. 

Noah Reyes lives and works in Atlanta, GA. Reyes is an artist taking steps in many different directions, resulting in an awkward dance between curating, writing, and artmaking. They work for Sandler Hudson Gallery, serve as a board member for Lostintheletters, and co-founded Eso Tilin Projects. Sometimes they write for ArtsATL, ART PAPERS, Burnaway, and IMPACT Magazine.

Yanira Vissepó (b. 1992, Santurce, Puerto Rico) studied printmaking in 2019 at the Kyoto International Mokuhanga School, where soft gradients and refined forms became central to her practice. She has held residencies at Black Mountain College Museum, Coop Gallery, Nashville; the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory, Echizen, Japan; and the Nashville Public Library. Vissepó has also worked as a teaching artist at the Frist Art Museum, Nashville, and the Nashville Public Library. Her work is included in collections such as those of the Metro Arts Lending Library, Nashville; Soho House Nashville; and the Vanderbilt Museum of Art, Nashville. Vissepó’s solo exhibitions include shows at Ziehersmith, Nashville, TN; Lyndon House Arts Center, Athens, GA; Elephant Gallery, Nashville; and Sheet Cake Gallery, Memphis; and she has participated in group exhibitions at venues such as 21c Museum Hotel, Nashville, and the Vanderbilt Museum of Art and Frist Art Museum.

“In Motion” by Anisa and Rob Nonya pairs her glass art with his stippling and ink illustrations. Show runs June 12th to August 14th. Profits from show are donated to 912 Skaters Coalition.

Only Bread These Days features new work by Joanna Silver, Henry McDonald a.k.a. Huey B., and Alejandro Giraldo. The show will run from May 28 through June 26.

Mexico City–based artist Othiana Roffiel (SCAD B.F.A., painting, 2012) presents luminous paintings exploring the interconnectedness of the human body and the cosmos. Rather than relying on direct references, Roffiel allows her mind–body connection to guide the work. Forms emerge from subconscious memory and imagination, creating a visual language that is both playful and profound. The works’ surfaces vary like terrain on a map: brushstrokes glint with oil, as choppy as sea currents, while other areas are raw and chalky, with the pigment’s grit leveled like topsoil. These horizonless compositions evoke epic and intimate views. Floating forms, reminiscent of moons or limbs, are surrounded by stippling marks recalling sand, raindrops, or stars, while soft gradients suggest transitions, whether cellular or planetary in scale.

Roffiel’s paintings bear witness to the spectacle of nature, capturing both its vastness and the intimate impression it leaves on the individual. By embracing the abstract and symbolic, Roffiel channels ambiguity as a generative force, inviting viewers to freely associate. Her paintings bridge landscape and self, transforming the act of looking into a meditation on moments we hold close and images that linger in our minds.

Join us in a celebration of the ancient tradition of wood fired ceramics and the dedicated potters of Georgia who continue to uphold the practice.

In celebration of Telfair Museums’ 140th anniversary, Impressionism and Modernity: French and American Painting brings together Telfair’s prominent collection of Impressionist art with key counterparts from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C, including paintings by Edgar Degas (1834–1917), Alfred Sisley (1839–99) Vincent van Gogh (1853–90), among others. Through a series of works that attest to themes of modern life, leisure, and spectacle, the modern city, and nostalgia for the natural landscape in a rapidly changing world, this exhibition aims to show how Impressionism originated and developed with the introduction of modern art to the United States and to American institutions.

When the Impressionists first exhibited together in Paris in 1874, their work was a shock to critics and the public alike. Characterized by loose, expressive brushwork which captured the fleeting effects of light and color, and devoted to the representation of modern, everyday life, Impressionism was a radical departure from the art that came before. Highly detailed, traditional scenes of history and mythology had long been favored at the Salon, the official annual art show sponsored by the French government, forcing the Impressionists to form their own independent series of exhibitions. By the 1880s, interest in the movement began to spread across the Atlantic, as opportunities to view Impressionist pictures in the United States became increasingly available. In a landmark exhibition held in New York in 1886, organized by the Parisian art dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel (1831–1922), over three hundred Impressionist paintings, pastels, and watercolors attracted significant interest among American collectors as well as artists, who flocked to the French capital to study modern art.

By the turn of the 20th century, Impressionism had taken hold in the United States, where American artists adapted the style to local subjects. With their depiction of evolving American cities, landscapes, and society, the American Impressionists and artists that followed helped to reshape and picture national identity as industrialization and modernity transformed the face of the country. Opening in 1886 as the first public art museum in the South, the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (now Telfair Museums) also became one of the earliest institutions to begin acquiring modern art. With the help of Gari Melchers (1860–1932), an internationally renowned artist and the museum’s art advisor from 1906 through the 1920s, Telfair amassed one of the most distinguished collections of American Impressionist painting of its time.

A first-of-its-kind exhibition at Laney Contemporary pairs the work of two Low Country landscape photographers who captured an evolving coastline — through industry collapse, climate change, and disappearing traditions — over the course of half a century.

Separated by time but connected by place, photographers Parker Stewart and the late Jack Leigh capture landscapes and communities in the outer reaches of coastal Georgia and South Carolina. Laney Contemporary’s Jack Leigh & Parker Stewart: In Place brings their work together for the first time in Savannah, this spring and summer.

Co-curated by Stewart and gallerist Susan Laney, “In Place” is the first time Leigh’s photos have been shown alongside a living photographer working in the same tradition, and the first exhibition of Leigh’s work in nearly a decade.

Savannah-born Leigh is known for his three-decade canon of rural and coastal photography. The novelist Pat Conroy once wrote of his “uncanny yet perfectly composed and cunning” images: “He cannot raise his camera without telling me about a South I never knew was there.” Leigh’s photograph “Midnight, Bonaventure Cemetery” became synonymous with Savannah after it was featured on the cover of the bestselling novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. In dialogue with Leigh’s haunting landscapes is the work of Stewart, who also photographs the coastal region and has found himself again and again at many of the same off-the-beaten-path sites that caught Leigh’s eye a generation earlier.

Stewart, a SCAD graduate who settled in Savannah, began photographing the tidal landscapes of coastal Georgia and the Savannah River Basin in early 2020. On long, meandering scouting drives through rural Georgia and South Carolina, Stewart explored tidal waterways, shrimping docks, and primordial, fog-cloaked marshes. Later he recognized that Leigh travelled similar routes and visited the same sites, though the two never met. Leigh died of cancer 22 years ago, at age 55. Inspired by the place, and the spirit of Jack’s work, Stewart began to think of Leigh’s photobooks as “treasure maps.”

Stewart photographed an Estill, South Carolina water tower framed by silos, only to later discover that Leigh had shot the same scene 24 years prior. “I was tickled to find Jack had made the exact same photograph,” Stewart said. “Almost nothing had changed.” Other times, it was all but suggested by the scene. Returning to a McIntosh County shrimping dock that Stewart had photographed multiple times, he saw a boat he’d previously photographed was now half-submerged. “Immediately I thought of Jack’s image ‘Sunken Shrimp Boat,’ which was made on that same dock 40 years earlier, and set up my tripod to make my own.”

“In Place” examines a coast in constant flux. Industries that once supported the economy buckle under the pressures of climate and market change. Georgia's shrimping fleet has diminished by 96 percent, from roughly 1,500 boats in Leigh’s era to fewer than 60 today. Similar trends have befallen the oystering communities Leigh photographed, and Gullah/Geechee families along the coast face compounding threats — among them, development and property loss. "He saw the condos being built, the rapid development of his home and the coast, and he acted with intention to preserve these places by documenting them, and doing it beautifully,” Stewart said of his predecessor’s work. “Leigh's ability to find the quiet in the chaos is unsurpassed."

Beyond EVERYTHING… is a Group Exhibition featuring the work of Talia Sullivan and Mario Arsvita.

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 23rd, 5 - 8PM

Talia Sullivan is an emerging artist, ( b. 2001, Devon UK) based in Savannah, GA. In her studio practice, Sullivan explores the relationship between humanity and the vastness of the landscape. Her art often features anonymous figures seamlessly integrated into expansive natural settings. Through her work, she seeks to evoke a sense of wonder and reverence for the world around us. Talia Sullivan has been exhibited in Savannah, Atlanta, Richmond and London. She is currently persuing an MFA in Painting and Printmaking at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Mario Arsvita describes his work an investigation into the human condition through abstraction, this aesthetic is employed to explore the deep interconnectedness of all things with intentions of shifting our collective perception of humanity's place in the universe. 

In the current era of evolving technological intersections with the body, the coupling of organism and machine is birthing reevaluations on the body’s potential. Drawing from feminist posthuman theory, the work in the exhibition challenges current notions of reproduction, gender, and family structures, suggesting alternative synthetic reimaginings of the body. In the thesis exhibition i don’t know how, but it grew from me, traditional biopolitical structures are dismantled and replaced with constantly exfoliating cyborgian skinscapes. Shifting perspective on gestational labor and the leaky excess of bodily production, this work questions the decisions surrounding biotech, who has the authority to determine how hunman developments are distributed, and how advancements can restructure liberation.

Opening reception: April 17, 6-9pm
