About the Exhibition
Inspired by the lyrics of The Troggs’ song “Wild Thing,” the exhibition challenges artists to embrace the raw, untamed aspects of their creative process. Whether gestural, playful, experimental, or contemplative, submitted works should reflect an artist’s exploration of unrestrained artistic expression.
The Supporter Gallery at ARTS Southeast, established in 2022, provides a dedicated space for artist supporters to showcase their work in three annual exhibitions. Situated alongside artist studios and the Ellis Gallery, the space offers high visibility and fosters dialogue within Savannah’s creative community.
