On Friday, September 11 from 5:30-7pm, join artist Kelly Boehmer for a hands-on collage workshop exploring transformation, anxiety, humor, and the hidden beauty in the unexpected.

Inspired by Kelly’s soft sculptures and use of found and upcycled materials, participants will create layered, tactile collages that turn discarded pieces into something new. Come experiment with texture, color, and imagery in a welcoming space where the strange, beautiful, and imperfect are all part of the process.

Kelly’s work is featured in our current gallery exhibition, Not Away, on display until September 26.

This event is free and open to the public ages 17 . RSVP is required – please visit bit.ly/notaway2026 to reserve your spot today.

Indigenous food has always been at the table even when it wasn’t recognized as such. Join us at Coastal Table and Tales for an evening with Chef Crystal Wahpepah, founder of Wahpepah’s Kitchen in Oakland, the first Indigenous woman to own a restaurant in Northern California, a James Beard Award finalist, and the first Indigenous chef to appear on Food Network’s Chopped.

Chef Wahpepah will prepare two dishes rooted in generations of Kickapoo foodways: Kickapoo Chili and Sweetblue Cornbread. Dishes that carry her heritage forward, on their own terms.

During the demonstration, Chef Wahpepah,will be in conversation with her co-author, Amy Paige Condon, about her cookbook, her heritage food, and what it means to reclaim recognition at the table. The evening will also open up discussion on:

The long, often unrecognized presence of Indigenous cuisine in American food culture
The role of land acknowledgment in modern cooking
How Native ingredients are finding their way back into everyday kitchens
Chef Wahpepah’s path from home cook to James Beard finalist and culinary ambassador
Come hungry, come curious, and leave with a signed copy of the book and a deeper appreciation for the food heritage that’s always belonged at the table.

Eastern Wharf’s free Fall Riverfront Concert Series, which is presented in conjunction with Savannah Stopover Music Festival, will kick off with Americana rock band Cordovas and Savannah opening act Little Gracie.

One of the most important holidays in many East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the harvest, family reunions and the full moon, serving as a time for gathering together to share food and give thanks. The celebration will also include the opening of the Savannah Chinese Association’s new photography exhibition, “Charming Savannah Seen Through Chinese Eyes” at 12:30 p.m.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Family Day also honors an important chapter in the Davenport House Museum’s own history.

Through a special partnership with the Savannah Chinese Association, guests are invited to connect with the museum’s past while celebrating a living cultural tradition.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the return of the museum’s acclaimed exhibition, “Old Chan Magic: Chinese Roots, Southern Branches,” which shares the story of the Chan family and Savannah’s early Chinese community.
