Back in Savannah, there is a cornucopia of art offerings this fall. Here are just a few on columnist Beth Logan's radar.

The keenly awaited Hot Eye basement bar with its speakeasy vibe has opened just in time for the SCAD Film Festival crowds.

Savannah has many contenders for best dive bar―establishments with dim lighting, shabby and eclectic décor, and an unpretentiousness that appeals to a largely local clientele.

Jere Williams is a master craftsman with an incredible imagination, an artist constantly thinking about the woodworking problems he creates and needs to solve.

Artist Julia Roland’s work is a hot commodity right now. The Savannah native is the recipient of two artist residencies and was invited to show at this year’s ArtFields in Lake City, S.C.

Frosty’s Social Club at Savannah's Thompson hotel features live holiday music on Tuesdays, music bingo on Wednesdays, holiday trivia on Thursdays, Frosty Karaoke on Fridays, and more.

From repurposed carports to galleries within galleries, Savannah's artists are finding ways to get their works seen amid market squeeze.

Savannah Figurative, curated by Isaac McCaslin and fellow painters Phil Musen and Astoria Jellett, will present completed works by eight artists alongside the figure studies that shaped them.

Growing up in the Klamath Falls area of Oregan, Mark Ekstrom had a tumultuous childhood. At four years of age, he recalls a car pulling into his driveway and instinctively understanding his days in that home were over. He and his three siblings grasped that “it was always a ‘hurry-up-and-clean-up-the house situation’ [when case workers] stopped by to make sure things were clean and organized. But that day, they said we were going with them.”

A new exhibition at Laney Contemporary showcases the serendipitous connections between photographers Jack Leigh and Parker Stewart.
