Knocking around Savannah during this ‘ghostly’ time of the year is a great deal of fun.
While this elegant Southern city is known for its haunted houses and its fabulous restaurants — it is also recognized for its lively visual and performing arts community.
Here are a few of the places on my dance card during this long weekend visit.
Silhouettes and Savannah Scenes: Works by Helen Hatch Inglesby
A selection of works by Helen Hatch Inglesby, a lifelong Savannah resident, Helen Hatch Inglesby (1914-1999). Inglesby was an artist best known for her silhouettes, but she was equally adept in drawing, watercolor and oils. For more information go to Telfair Academy of Arts
