Event Details

‘Bold Expressions: The Collection of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum’ celebrates collecting and living with original works of art through a presentation of the collection of the late Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum. Remembered for their business acumen, love of community, and generous philanthropic efforts, the Tenenbaums were deeply invested in art and education, which extended to their colossal efforts to raise funds to construct Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center.

The Tenenbaum collection defies categorization―crossing borders, time periods, styles, techniques, and mediums. Showcasing prints, paintings, drawings, and ceramics by artists such as Marc Chagall, Diego Rivera, Andy Warhol, Fritz Scholder, and Jaune Quick-to-See-Smith, the exhibition is at once a portrait of the individual and wide-ranging tastes of one couple, but also an exploration into what it means to love art and express oneself boldly and unabashedly through collecting. In addition to enjoying the variety of work and finding their favorites, visitors are encouraged to ponder the concept of collecting and displaying art in various domestic and museum settings—perhaps inspiring their own discovery of new artists. Ultimately, ‘Bold Expressions’ honors the artists who enhance our lives and the local collectors whose passions support art and its makers.

In their Museum of the Lost series, Leung and Wong re-enact the poses and attire of these unidentified, unaware “minor characters,” producing life-sized photographic prints and crafting accompanying texts that imagine their experiences and personalities. The artists’ exhibition focuses on works made from the photo albums of families in Nagoya, Japan, in which Leung and Wong challenge historical grand narratives and shed light on the poetics of photography.

When: October 5-8, 2023
Where: South Beach Parking Lot
More Info: tybeepiratefest.com

A Brief History
Tybee Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals that were looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called Tybeefest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Island Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.

There are lots of activities for families, loads of entertainment and a Thieves Market filled with treasure. The festival grounds have grown to encompass the entire South Beach Parking Lot by the Tybee Pier from Tybrisa Street to 18th Street. This website provides the history of the event and lots of other pirate stuff. Hope you find it useful and it helps you find your way to the Annual Pirate Fest on Tybee Island located only 20 minutes from Savannah GA historic district and the cobblestone River Street.
