Welcome

This exhibition was conceived in 2009 as a response to a request to mount a faculty exhibition to showcase the work being produced by the faculty of the Painting Department at the Savannah Campus of the Savannah College of Art and Design. The resulting exhibition includes full time faculty, part time faculty, and visiting artists who were involved with the department during the 2008/2009 academic year.

Rather than schedule a show at a local gallery it was suggested that we attempt to find an international venue. The resulting schedule is more then we could have hoped for. This exhibition would not have happened were it not for the work of Blazo Kovacevic. His drive and determination has given us this remarkable opportunity.

Painting exhibition participants:
Adam Cvijanovic, Blazo Kovacevic, Craig Drennen, Denise Carson,
Gregory Eltringham, Laura Mosquera, Matt Blackwell, Morgan Santander, Natalija Mijatovic, Roger Walton,
Stephen Knudsen, Suzanne Jackson, Todd Schroeder.
