We are indebted to curator Peter Roberts for organizing a group show benefiting Hospice Savannah
at the Location Gallery @ Austin Hill Realty. The opening reception of "Draw Me" is Friday, April 14. Work
is inspired by the iconic "Draw Me" matchbooks and advertisements in the back of periodicals for Art Instruction Schools. Whether is was "Tippy the Turtle", "The Cowboy", "The Lady", "The Pirate", "Lucky the Duck", "Winky the Deer" or many, many more, Peter felt the imagery deserved a fresh take, an upgrade, a modern point of view from our local artists. Please join us!

We're so much more than hospice!
|
|
We are truly grateful for the kindness of all those who have chosen to remember loved ones with a memorial gift. As our area's oldest, non-profit hospice, we rely on the generosity of the community to help us provide the highest quality, most compassionate care to our patients, to support exhausted caregivers in their time of need, to counsel and comfort those who are grieving, and so much more.
