Savannah culture fiends’ favorite monthly tradition keeps getting better and better. In December, Art Rise Savannah was awarded $5,000 from the City’s Department of Cultural Affairs to develop First Friday Art March, an evening that’s part gallery hop, part market, part workshop, and part big ol’ community mingle in Starland. We can’t wait to see what they’re up to next.
