For ages, music artists have been inspired by visual art to create songs that are almost as famous as the paintings themselves. Nat King Cole sang to Mona Lisa, Don McLean’s Starry Starry Night paid tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, Coldplay’s 2008 album Viva la Vida swore allegiance to Frida Kahlo, and countless classical composers have been inspired by the famous works of Botticelli, Hogarth, and Hokusai.

As a board member with Habitat Savannah and Photopoint artist in-residence, Joy Dunigan is an artist that is proud and thankful. Savannopoly gives art enthusiasts and collectors the opportunity to purchase high-quality art that is relevant and valuable, while simultaneously supporting Habitat Savannah.

With masks on and interpretations of this now fashion-forward garment in every corner of the Gallery’s new spot at 251 Bull Street, Dunigan is excited to have been pushed outside of her creative comfort zone to create an image, imposed on top of another image, depicting the the wasteful, but necessary use of masks.

Often revered, but more frequently overlooked, photography is perceived as easy, hence why the Photopoint Gallery in Richmond Hill, Ga. chose to present a show solely dedicated to the medium. High Tide/Low Country is a group exhibit which features 13 of the area’s finest working artists/photographers that are as diverse as the genre itself.

For a fifth consecutive year, the Photopoint Gallery is thrilled to be hosting the Arts on the Coast Annual Exhibit. Entitled SPACE, the show features 20 works created by local artists from Richmond Hill, Savannah, St. Simon’s Island, Midway and Pooler. The show opened on June 25, and is open to the public for viewing through September 12, 2020.

Two images of Ossabaw Island — How to Get to Heaven from Georgia and Ossabaw Tabby, have been selected as part of The Southern Landscape, a photographic exhibition hosted by the South x Southeast Photo Gallery located in Molena, GA. The reception for the exhibit happens Saturday, January 4 from 5-7 p.m. The complete show dates are January 4 through February 28, 2020.

Joy Dunigan participates in the 18th Annual Ossabaw Island Pig Roast & Art Action. Dunigan donated a first- edition photograph - How to Get to Heaven From Georgia.

Sneak-a-peek at some new, experimental work from Joy Dunigan at the Arts on the Coast’s Art Nite happening October 25. The work remains wildlife, landscape, vista focused, with a simple twist on photography and broad swatches of color.
