Monsters, Magic & Make Believe Exhibition!

For the Halloween season, the Savannah Gallery of Art (SGA) has an exciting invitational exhibition of imaginative realistic art on display entitled Monsters, Magic & Make Believe. An artist reception will be held on October 20, from 6 to 8 pm at the gallery.

The impetutus for the show came out of SGA Managing Partner and exhibition curator James Mravec’s love of narrative illustration and imaginative storytelling. “I had been following many speculative fiction artists for over 40 years. It is a passion of mine.” shares Mravec. “The Monsters, Magic & Make Believe show just seemed like a great way to pass on my love of imaginative realism imagery to the public here in Savannah.” Working with Associate Managing Partner Jime Wimmer, Mravev invited artists in the science fiction and fantasy genres to participate in this month-long exhibition.

The Savannah Gallery of Art’s primary mission is to be a business run by artists for the promotion of local artists. Since their humble beginnings in October of 2021, the gallery has grown in their focus and scope. “The gallery has started to garner attention from beyond the low country region here in Georgia,” adds Mravec. “The last annual juried show had artists submitting work from Texas, Massachusetts and Oklahoma.” Artists participating in the Monsters, Magic & Make Believe show has committed artists from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan and as far away as Hawaii. With the success of this show, the Savannah Gallery of Art would like to make the Monsters, Magic & Make Believe theme an annual event. Currently, SGA represents approximately thirty regional working artists.
