Nicole is an excellent, personable and knowledgeable tour guide who made the tour leisurely but informative. Every stop had a portrait connected to it, so we could visualise people and places at the same time, and we got to go inside a historic house in the city, and see a wonderful private art collection. The small group size made for a lovely, conversational experience, but also felt very safe and cognisant of the pandemic. I would definitely recommend art, history and antiques lovers to take a tour with Art & Amble when in Savannah!

Sarah from Canvas Charleston helped my husband and I decorate our new home last year. The entire…read moreexperience, from start to finish, could not have been better. Not only was Sarah extremely creative and knowledgable with regards to art / interior design, but she was also very pleasant and easy to work with. She quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and suggested a number of different pieces, all of which we ended up loving. Additionally, on more than one occasion, Sarah would suggest something that wasn't necessarily what we would've chosen on our own, but these pieces turned out to be some of our favorites. When it comes to art consulting and interior design, Sarah is truly the best. Next time we're in Charleston, we will be sure to tour with Canvas Charleston, as I'm sure her art tours are fabulous as well!

This museum was a fun find as I attempted to get out of the midday heat for awhile. The exhibits…read morewere very unusual/eye grabbing. I was also able to view everything in a short amount of time without it feeling overwhelming (I hate going to a museum that has too much I'll never get to view). The cost is free, however, donations are appreciated. The staff working the front desk wasn't rude by any means, however, she wasn't too welcoming. Overall, this was a very positive experience.

The space is only a couple of rooms, and houses a rotating exhibition with no permanent collection. I happened in on a day when the artist du jour was giving a talk and just missed it, which was a shame. The exhibit was a very locally flavored multimedia experience built around the shore, with the signature pieces composed of scraps of more conventional paintings which had been destroyed by a hurricane. One could easily stop for restrooms and water in the building and there was a sort of art vending machine among a small gift selection.

Very glad we found the Kobo Gallery. This is the kind of locally-focused place that deserves much…read moresupport and success. I'd give Kobo five stars if it was just a little bigger and possibly more diversified, but that isn't any fault of the gallery, it's just my preference. In fact, the emphasis on jewelry won it five stars from my GF, also due in part to the cool earrings she picked up there. Most importantly, Kobo is a co-op featuring Savannah-based artists and craftspeople, including woodwork, fiber work, and photography as well as jewelry. It's a real nice mix and I enjoyed talking with photographer Liza Crowley Judson about the co-op, her work and art in the Savannah area and beyond. My favorite galleries are those that are free of pretense, from the work to the workers, and Kobo is definitely a down-to-earth place. In a lot of ways it reminds me of City Art [SF] and Flux Gallery [Jax] just in case you happen to be familiar with either of those places. Stop in, support local artists and help keep the creative juices flowing if you're in the area. Highly recommended.

Jordan and I love coming here when the city is full of energy, and St. Patrick's weekend definitely brings that. The whole area was packed with people, music, and everyone dressed in green just enjoying the festivities. Bars were lively, drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere felt like one big outdoor party. It's one of those places where you can just walk around, pop into different spots, grab a drink, and enjoy the crowd. Of course, with the holiday crowd it gets very busy, but that's honestly part of the fun. If you're looking to experience Savannah during St. Patrick's, City Market is definitely one of the best places to soak in the celebration. Jordan and I had a great time and it's always a memorable way to celebrate the holiday in Savannah.
