"What’s the big picture here?Savannah Art Walk is a self-guided tour that takes place every Saturday. Guests aren’t left to their own devices entirely, though—there’s a map with participating galleries and suggestions, and a loose program that includes welcome and farewell drinks. Tell us about your fellow tourees.About 150 people take the walk on any given Saturday; it's a cross-section of casual and serious art lovers, with around 80 percent out-of-towners. Orientation starts at the Hyatt Regency at 2 p.m., where there are mimosas, a welcome speech, and a live demonstration by local artists. Then visitors have four hours to stroll the galleries until the closing reception, allowing everyone to take things at their own pace. What kinds of galleries participate?The walk is so well established that it feels like a huge celebration of Savannah. The mix of students, up-and-coming artists, and well-known figures is impressive. There’s a diverse range of art experiences and galleries, from smaller, independent places to larger outlets. The Tiffani Taylor Gallery, for instance, features the namesake artist's wonderfully vibrant works; the shopSCAD shows off dozens of works from students at the Savannah College of Art and Design. The final reception, at The Perry Lane Hotel, is a highlight, with drinks, a raffle, and more local art. So: Who will enjoy the art walk most?This is a tour for anybody with even a passing interest in art. Most of the works are accessible, and anyone spending $20 on anything along the walk gets a raffle ticket to score even more art." - Paul Oswell
