The opening reception for Ossabaw Outtakes will take place on Saturday, November 16 from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. at Photopoint Gallery located at 30 Cherokee Street (inside Elmgren’s Garden Center) in Richmond Hill, GA. Proceeds from the run of the show benefit The Ossabaw Island Foundation.

Through the creative and bold work of Joy Dunigan and Peter E. Roberts, we gain new perspectives on Georgia’s first heritage preserve, Ossabaw Island. A place that possesses an inherent magic needs little embellishment in its depictions, however both artists have collectively given us fresh interpretations incorporating rich colors and textures, that pulsate. 

In addition to both having a lengthy relationship with the island, their shared backgrounds in the trades of illustration, media, and design are pronounced in these works. In the artist’s collaborative effort, they both unknowingly gravitated towards the popular colorways of the late 70’s and early 80’s – a roller disco nod to the era in which the Genesis Project, an artist residency on Ossabaw Island, was facilitated by the late Sandy Torrey-West.
