Of One Mind is a collaboration between local artists Autumn Gary and Alexis Javier. Gary and Javier will exhibit an original sculptural installation around the theme of “oneness,” the timeless connections between humans’ worldly myths from ancient times to the present and our symbiotic relationship with all aspects of the cosmos. This exhibition is part of the #art912 initiative, a platform dedicated to raising the visibility and vitality of artists living and working in Savannah. We look forward to seeing you for this exciting artist talk!
