Join Tamara for interviews related to the City of Savannah's current "Storm Drain Art" public mural project, which is taking place all over the city. From their site https://waterconnectsusall.com/ :
"What connects us to these waters, plants, and wildlife we don’t see? It is the storm drain in front of our homes, schools, offices, parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and gas stations....This project is part of a larger campaign to lift the lowly storm drain to a level of prominence, so we are reminded of our connection to our rivers and ocean. We are reminded that our actions impact the wildlife and local economies that depend on our waters staying healthy."
The first half of the show is a group interview at Heard Elementary School, with storm drain muralist Jen Palmer; STEAM Lab teacher & 5th grade teacher Angela Willis; 4th grade teachers Deanna Fanning and Ms Green; Assistant Principal Mary Ann Rogers Lamberth; AND three students from the school.
In the second half, Tamara interviews another storm drain muralist Dana Richardson, on site at White Bluff Elementary School. The discussion includes her other mural work (including at the Jepson Museum and Starland Dairy), and her work as an art teacher at Savannah Christian, including her theory about the process of teaching paralleling the design process.

Two long for Field Notes for your listening pleasure!
First we spoke with Carmen Maria Aguirre about her exhibition at Roots Up Gallery, her role as curator of Grand Bohemian Gallery Savannah during the health crisis, and what she's got planned artistically now that we're sheltered in place.
Then we talked with Harry DeLorme about his 30+ years making environmentally-conscious artwork, as well as all of the work that he's been doing for Telfair Museums as Senior Curator of Education as they work to get more content online.
Two great interviews that you won't want to miss!

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. The Savannah arts community will miss her deeply, and I know that you'll enjoy hearing from her on Art on the Air one last time before she begins this exciting new chapter in her life.
