Event Details

Laney Contemporary is pleased to present 8, a group exhibition guest-curated by The Fuel and Lumber Company. This special selection of diverse artists presents no singular voice, but rather a chorus of works by female-identifying artists. In a challenging contemporary moment, with a post-Roe v. Wade reality, the curatorial initiative, The Fuel and Lumber Company takes a broad philosophical, even poetic, approach to curating, placing works next to one another without didactics, but as a way to encourage dialog amongst images and between viewers. Art opens doors by posing questions rather than determining answers and 8 opens up unlimited questions about complexities of identity and control of bodies. The artists were chosen for their distinct visual voices, engaging in cross-cultural dialog, but also for their unexpectedly united harmony.

The number 8, itself a visual symbol of infinity, suggests an array of meanings including the flow of power, a source of good energy, and a strong sense of overcoming. Turned on its side, 8 symbolizes limitlessness, which in the context of this show may remind us of the immeasurable capacity of what art can accomplish and what creative people united can realize. It also suggests the unlimited and undefined possibilities of meanings that can be produced by viewer-participants in dialog with one another.

04nov(nov 4)5:00 pm14jan(jan 14)2:00 pmPete Schulte: "November 4, 2022 - January 14, 2023"

Event Details

Laney Contemporary is pleased to present Pete Schulte: “November 4, 2022 – January 14, 2023.” With a daily practice of drawing as his compass, Schulte chooses as the exhibition’s title, simply the dates. Dates as titles suggest the way that drawing and thinking, perception, and time are interconnected. Drawing can be seen as a kind of thought-action as drawing precedes the thought and then begins to articulate it visually as a non-verbal space. Drawing as a daily action activates perception as a choice while the word practice insinuates the rigor and intentionality of drawing. Schulte’s works on paper are responsive to the compositional dynamics and poetry of space, the subtleties of light, and the variation available through graphite, ink, and pigment. This selection is interested in the viewer-object dialogue that can open without conditions and without dictation of meaning. It is open to the site-specific, radiating observations that can be made at the edges and in the between-spaces: inferring connections between drawing and building, line and street, feeling and city, perception and the dynamic history of that place. His drawings change depending upon where they are placed. In this way every exhibition of Schulte’s work in context is different from the last.

Ingredients in the work are vast in the way that no one life is a list of components, though we sense the intimacy of scale, nuance of surface, and subtlety of touch. One notices an absence of titles in order to communicate openness, and a directness of experience. This could be seen as cool detachment, but it is more related to the directness of life experienced without explanation. Binary descriptions that limit and define works as either abstraction or representation no longer hold. Schulte’s interest resides within the tangible reality of the drawing space. His work is actively discovered, an investigation of the ever-changing intimacy of light, the breath of color, and the poetry of space as possibility.

His work signals the idea that art is an affirmation of life, a resounding “yes,” and that it is in our power to look, to create open spaces, to experience directly, and to actively engage in the production of meaning for ourselves rather than in accordance with expectations. Wordless interactions often heighten our experiences. These works by Schulte strive to operate outside the realm of language and to create a feeling that perhaps only art can approximate.

25nov(nov 25)10:00 am23dec(dec 23)7:00 pm"Wild Ponies of Cumberland Island" Exhibit — Mitchell Lee KolbeView a stunning art exhibit featuring oil paintings by Mitchell Lee Kolbe at Plant Riverside District's Grand Bohemian Gallery!

Event Details

Plant Riverside District’s Grand Bohemian Gallery will feature captivating oil paintings by North Carolina artist Mitchell Lee Kolbe from November 25 through December 23.

In his latest exhibit, Mitchell Lee Kolbe takes guests on a journey to Cumberland Island, Ga., where feral horses roam the state’s largest and southernmost barrier island. Inspired by a 10-day sailing trip in 2006, “Wild Ponies of Cumberland Island” serves as a tribute to the wild horses Mitchell Lee Kolbe refers to as “Georgia’s oldest and most beloved inhabitants.” The artist hopes his oil paintings will spark a conversation about the conservation of these beautiful animals and commemorate the Cumberland Island National Seashore’s 50th anniversary.

ABOUT MITCHELL LEE KOLBE: Born and raised in Charlotte, N.C., Mitchell Lee Kolbe developed a love of art from his father and received a scholastic art scholarship to the prestigious Art Students League in New York City, where he studied for four years. A professional artist since he was 15, Mitchell Lee Kolbe has painted murals for the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Merritt Island, Fla. as well as Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. and restored the famous Atlanta Cyclorama, which features a mural of the Battle of Atlanta. Mitchell Lee Kolbe has also earned acclaim for his sculptures, including the Epiphany Cross Diver statue at Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Tarpon Springs, Fla. and various sculptures completed for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta as well as Walt Disney World Resort’s EPCOT. Mitchell Lee Kolbe is a featured artist at The Kessler Collection’s hotels and art galleries in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Event Details

Join the SCAD Museum of Art’s Evans Center for African American Studies for a screening of Spencer Williams’ 1944 film Go Down, Death! After the screening, SCAD cinema studies professor Chad Newsom leads a presentation on the untold story of Savannah’s first Black movie theater.

Race and moviegoing have intersected since the medium’s origins, and for cinema’s first 70 years, going to the movies was an unequal and segregated experience. In response, African American entrepreneurs built, owned, and operated theaters, creating a welcoming space for Black moviegoers in the age of Jim Crow. Learn the story of Savannah’s first African American theater — what made it so groundbreaking and how it challenges and changes our understanding of cinema history.

Free and open to the public, this program is presented in connection with the exhibition Aaron Douglas: Sermons.

RSVP to jdiaz@scad.edu.

About the presenter
Chad Newsom is a professor of cinema studies in the department of art history at SCAD, where he teaches film history classes. Interested in forgotten stories of cinema’s past — movies, stars, and the theaters where audiences encountered those phenomena — he is currently researching the local history of film exhibition and Savannah’s African American movie theaters.

About the Evans Center
Established in 2011, the SCAD Museum of Art’s Walter and Linda Evans Center for African American Studies celebrates the imaginative breadth and expressive legacy of African American art and culture. Through experimental public programs, immersive workshops, riveting lectures, and topical symposia, the Evans Center immerses students and community members in the rich tapestry of Black expression.

Event Details

Are you ready to survive “Savannah’s Winter Wonderland”? Crawlers will have to brave the ice-cold winter weather and journey through Savannah’s winter wonderland, otherwise known as the beautiful, historic, Savannah, Georgia. Here in Savannah, things are always bigger and better!!

12 bars later, you’ll be sufficiently full of holiday cheer. Along with presents from Santa, each bar will provide festive drink only specials for “The Twelve Bars of Christmas” participants. You can run, walk, or crawl your way to the finish line (on the sidewalk please).

Photos with Santa

Santa is tired from taking care of all these damn kids all day. So we hired him to come hang out with us throughout the day. Why let the kids have all the fun? This is the one time, Santa approves when you’ve been naughty! From 4-8PM, take a photo or just have a beer with Santa. Just don’t tug on his beard! (spoiler alert: it’s fake)

The 5K Of Your Dreams

“Santa’s List”, aka the map and scorecard, will lead you on a jolly journey to each destination. By the end of “The Twelve Bar of Christmas” you will have participated in a 5 kilometer, or 3.1-mile adventure, enjoying delightful drink specials along the way. We will not all travel as one large group, instead, come with your friends and spread cheer together.

HOW DOES A BAR CRAWL WORK?

Participants crawl at their own pace instead of all together in one huge group. Once crawlers pickup their scorecards at the starting bar, they then travel to all the bars listed enjoying drink specials and getting their scorecard marked at each bar. After visiting all the bars on the list, crawlers join us at McDonough’s to get your t-shirt!!

THE GOAL

Complete your scorecard by visiting each participating bars and be one of the first 200 crawlers to receive a t-shirt. As you enter the venue, the doorman or bartender will “mark” their respective bar’s section of your scorecard. You do not have to purchase a drink to have your scorecard marked.

FREE STUFF

On top of drink specials, all participants will receive a koozie, a bunch of swag from our sponsors (while supplies last), a scorecard/map to mark your progress, and free entry into all participating bars. Also, the first 200 participants to complete their scorecard will receive an official Savannah Bar Crawl Event t-shirt!

AFTER PARTY

After you have had your scorecard marked at all the bars, join us at McDonough’s for the official after party. This is also where you will pick up your FREE/RESERVED t-shirts between 6PM-10PM. Remember, we are only giving away FREE shirts to the first 200 crawlers with a finished scorecard. Hang around and party with Savannah’s best afterwards. Drink specials will be honored until 2:45am. Make sure to bring your score card as proof of participation.
