Re-Calibration: Yoga and ART in the Gallery 

Saturday, May 14 at 10:00am | $5
Artist Cindy Male will lead a Yoga and Art session in the gallery surrounded by the Bloom exhibit, where she also has her work on display. 

Art and yoga can each help us understand how we use our creativity so that we may more successively align our personal energy to thrive in the current frequencies that we live in. With breathwork, Kundalini yoga, Tratakum meditation, and art, this workshop will re-calibrate as individuals and as a collective group.
Please bring to this session: mat or towel and three random objects: one that is annoying to you, one that is endearing to you, and one to which you have no attachment. The Savannah Cultural Arts Center will provide paper, pencils, and colored pencils. You are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

$5, space is limited. Reserve your space by registering online.

Southern Man: Book Signing and Talk with Alan Walden

Friday, June 10 | 5:30pm | Free

5:30 - Signing

6:30 - Author Talk

Southern Man is the memoir of a life in music during one of the most racially turbulent times in American history. It presents the voice of Alan Walden—a remarkable, sensitive, humble, and brilliant man; a boy from the country who, serendipitously, along with his brother Phil and best friend Otis Redding, helped to nurture a musical renaissance. It is the story of a son of Macon, Georgia, and his passion for R&B and rock’n’roll at a time when it took wits and a Southern persistence to overcome the obstacles on the hard scrabble road to success—the tragedy of loss, disappointment, and betrayal, along with the joy of victory, optimism, and hope—and taking a dream right over the mountain. That dream led him to work with and nurture the talents of a virtual who’s who of Southern music, from Sam & Dave and Percy Sledge to Boz Scaggs and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Anyone who was alive during the golden age of R&B and Southern rock remembers the music, but Alan’s narrative invites the reader to the centre of the story, into the studio and on the road, to backroom deals and backroom brawls. It wasn’t always peaches and cream. The music business is tough, and Alan Walden was one of the toughest kids on the street. He had to be, in order to survive in a world of guitars, guts, and guns. This is rock’n’roll noir—the story of a few pioneers who cut the rock and laid the pipe under the hard scrabble terrain so that the water of creativity can more freely flow today.

Free, pre-registration requested due to limited seating. Reserve your seat here.
