Savannah’s Leading Art Venues Showcase World-class Talent 

This fall, Savannah’s private learning institutions are putting the cool back in school with outdoor classrooms, hands-on projects and inspired leadership.

Starched collars and shiny shoes used to be the only excitement associated with the first day of school.  But this year, don’t be surprised if your metro-area student is the first one on the bus.  From smart renovations to revolutionary academic programs, Savannah’s schools are busily transforming themselves into sources of inspiration, not just information.

Savannah may not quite be a bustling hub of avant garde galleries, all-night philosopher cafes and screaming underground punk, but a lot more creative energy than meets the eye is sitting just below the surface in this port city. 

The early days brought sailors, tradesmen, merchants, scalawags, immigrants and planters.  Today, Savannah is still attracting a wide range of artists, musicians and craftsmen.  We spoke to just a few of them who are on track to show everyone else what Savannah is made of.
