Well we’ve turned the corner from the slower days around the holidays to the busy cultural pace of late winter and spring in Savannah.
There are myriad things going on this weekend, but I just wanted to post a reminder about two notable ones going on tonight: The Sketchbook Show!!! opening tonight at Ashmore Gallery at 412 MLK and Seersucker Live at 7:30 p.m. upstairs at The Sparetime at Congress and MLK.
Seersucker Live is a reading and performance series that has thrown fuel on the increasingly vibrant literary scene in Savannah. From the event Facebook page:

This is the second year for the Sketchbook Show!!!, which features a ridiculously long list of artists — a total of 122 — whose sketchbook pages will be plastered throughout the three-story Ashmore Gallery, right next to Creative Approach on MLK.

A few images of last year’s show at the former Little Beasts Gallery — a much smaller space than Ashmore:
And one of a 1,000 or so pieces you’ll see tonight — or later in the week. The show runs through next week with a closing reception next weekend.
