IMPACT Vol 5 No 1 Release Party

Benefitting the Ossabaw Island Residency

Thursday, May 21 from 6 - 8PM Laney Contemporary 1810 Mills B Lane Blvd Savannah, GA 31405

Join ARTS Southeast and IMPACT Arts + Culture Magazine at Laney Contemporary for a special evening celebrating the release of IMPACT Vol. 5 No. 1, our Ossabaw-centered issue exploring land, memory, ecology, artistic inheritance, and the cultural history of Georgia’s barrier islands.

Vol. 5 No. 1 features four collectible covers by:

Allison Janae Hamilton, Venus of Ossabaw

Le’Andra LeSeur, Monument Eternal

Mimi Plumb, Girl in a Mirror

John Earl, Sunrise on Ossabaw


The issue includes contributions and conversations with artists, writers, and curators including Beryl Gilothwest, Melissa Messina, Erin Dunn, Allison Janae Hamilton, Mimi Plumb, Gregory J. Harris, Le’Andra LeSeur, Trelani Michelle, Lisa Jaye Young, Josh Aronson, Rachel Waldrop, and others.

The evening will also serve as a fundraiser for the Ossabaw Island Residency, a new ARTS Southeast program launching this October. Rooted in the legacy of the historic Ossabaw Island Project, the residency will bring artists to Ossabaw Island for a week of retreat, research, reflection, and place-based creative exploration.

Celebrate with hors d'oeuvres by Sixby, drinks by Savoy Society, and music by Ryan Madson

In addition to the Ossabaw-centered issue of IMPACT, there are plenty of opportunities to support the launch of the Ossabaw Island Residency including a silent auction, with proceeds supporting the program.

On display at Laney Contemporary: Jack Leigh & Parker Stewart: In Place, a photography exhibition pairing two artists whose work is deeply connected to Savannah, the Georgia coast, and Ossabaw Island. The exhibition is on view through August 1, 2026.

Come celebrate the new issue of IMPACT Magazine, choose from four collectible covers, connect with artists, writers, supporters, and friends, and help us build the next chapter of artist-centered work on Ossabaw!

RSVP requested. Donations encouraged.

Proceeds and contributions from the evening will support artist residents' travel, lodging, meals, transportation, and the logistical costs required to bring artists to Ossabaw Island for the inaugural ARTS Southeast residency session.

*Please note that parking is limited, rideshare and carpooling is encouraged.
