  Jan Clayton-Pagratis is one of a unique group of artists exhibiting at the City of Savannah, Department of Cultural Affairs' S.P.A.C.E. Gallery. The exhibition titled REINCARNATED, is dedicated to raising awareness of recycling in Savannah and promotes the city's curbside recycling program which begins in January 2009.
  The artists included in this show use found or recycled materials in a conscious creative effort to reduce waste.

  The opening reception will be at S.P.A.C.E. Gallery, 9 West Henry Street, this Friday, May 2nd from 6:00 - 8:00pm.
  Clayton-Pagratis will be exhibiting examples from the "Paint Chip" series. This series began about ten years ago when the artist began collecting the left over oil paint scraped from her palette.  Since then, the variety of materials used in the making of these pieces has expanded and now includes other recycled materials such as rusty metal, paint tubes, plastic lids, ribbon, glass, buttons, toys, and most anything that will contribute to the content or the composition.

This exhibition is a collaboration between the City of Savannah Sanitation Bureau Recycling Center and local artists who choose Green.

   We have had a wonderful response to the work of Larry Chappelear.  Recently, we received new work which represents Chappelear's plein-air sensibilities and his love for  the southern landscape.
  Larry currently resides in Maryland where he is a Professor of Art at the College of Southern Maryland. His plein-air landscapes have been shown internationally and are in numerous collections including the US embassy in Lisbon Portugal.
