savannah windows: KAY WOLFERSPERGER statement

Kay Wolfersperger’s big love for all things Savannah is apparent as she co-directs The Creative Coast Gallery , creates wonders at SCAD’s  Working Class Studio and, for the Savannah Windows, develops works based on Savannah fashion boy-wonder Kyle Millsap and Savannah enthusiast Barry Karlin.  ”Barry brings a unique perpspective to Savannah and deserves to be highlighted.”  About Kyle she exclaims, ” His attire is always impeccable, eye-catching and artfully chosen.  He is a clear-cut, stylish icon.”  

Wolfersperger’s work which includes drawing, printmaking and fibers works can be characterized in the same fashion;  impeccable, eye-catching, artful, unique and stylish.

As she toggles between disciplines, she enthuses about the Savannah Windows project, “The project strikes me as genuine and an example of ‘true’ art.  I’m so appreciate of the local people that make our everyday notable.”

savannah windows: KELLIE WALKER statement

Kellie Walker depicts settlers of new and unexpected frontiers through her exploration of the individual and his or her accomplishments.  She finds the inventor-explorer in all of us, but for Savannah Windows project Juliet Gordon Lowe and Kevin McPhereson serve as her muses.  

She remarks, “Both serve as role models, enrich locals and visitors,  and each reminds us that opportunity is close at hand.”

With trailblazing in mind, she states, “This is a great opportunity to work with talented local artists and, at the same time, allow the public to interact with art without the construct of a traditional gallery or museum.”

savannah windows: TROY WANDZEL statement

Portrait painter and collaborative street artist, Troy Wandzel depicts Savannahian citizen advocate Tom Kohler and multi-media and 3D artist Mike Williams as his subjects for the upcoming Savannah Windows project.  

Wandzel remarks of his election, “Both men represent the “true Savannah”.  They have experienced what Savannah was and is, and both constantly strive to bring a “balance” and understanding to the people of Savannah.”

Of the project itself Wandzel suggests, “Savannah needs more community supported programs to promote and expose the working artists in the city. This display supports this idea on a local and national level.”

About:

Savannah Windows is an ongoing project with the goal of integrating local art with local business. Our current project revolves around Vogue magazine's Fashion Night Out on September 8, 2011. Our hometown of Savannah, GA was selected as a host for this global event. With the help of the Creative Coast, Savannah Windows has partnered with businesses and residents along York street and Broughton street to create window installations celebrating the rich cast of characters from Savannah's past and present.
