BIG episode this week folks, with two extended Field Notes!
First, we broadcast our long sit down with SCAD alum Stephanie Howard, where we delved deep into her artistic roots, as well as her excellent exhibition "Southern Arcana," currently on-view at Laney Contemporary!
Then, we shared our chat with one of Savannah's premiere curators Rachel Reese, who is moving on from the Telfair Museums Jepson Center for The Arts to take over the Cress Gallery of Art in Chattanooga.

This week's broadcast of Art on the Air features the multitalented Peter Erwin Roberts!
Roberts' discusses his solo exhibition "If Only." Here's the show blurb:
"17 new works explore randomly connected thoughts that become fanciful environments. Based on real life experiences, arbitrary gossip and true encounters, each 12" x 12" has a pop art approach embellished by cut paper."
We can't wait to have Peter in studio to take a deep dive into not only this show, but his artistic practice and philosophy, as well as his take on the Savannah art community as a whole.
Also a Field Note with emerging artist Peggy Jo Aughtry and her inspiring story of how a very recent and unprecedented interest and practice in creating art saved her life.
Well worth a listen.
