Gallery 209, Savannah
Opened in 1975, Gallery 209 in River Street's Factors Walk district is housed in a renovated 1820s cotton warehouse with exposed beams, original stone walls, brick floors and a floating staircase. Since then the shop has been Savannah's showcase for a coop of over 30 of the area's best known and most prominent artists. The latter take turns operating the gallery, thus allowing visitors an ideal opportunity to meet with the art creators while perusing the gallery and enjoying beautiful riverfront views.
Spread over two floors, here you will find original paintings, etchings, wood engravings, one-of-a-kind pottery, raku, gold and silver jewelry, enamels, sculpture, photography, turned wood, stained glass, fiber art and batik & other locally crafted items. The gallery also features, for true connoisseurs of art, a wide selection of its artists' limited-edition reproductions and note cards with local scenes.
Gallery 209 is a popular place for both tourists and locals alike, and a must-see attraction for every visitor of Savannah.
