If you have found this page, then you might already have heard of blankspace, a new gallery at 112 East 40th St.I'm one of the partners in this venture. In addition to writing three freelance columns a week for the Savannah Morning News and serving as president of the Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home, I'm also an occasional painter and longtime art collector. The other principal organizer of blankspace is Scot Hinson, an artist and designer who has been prominent on Savannah's cultural scene since opening his shop Mode on Broughton Street back in the last century.
blankspace is available for rent by the week ($325). With 800 sf of floor space and more than 100 feet of white, well-lit wall space, it should be perfect for a variety of thesis shows and other exhibits.
When blankspace is not rented, Scot and I are hoping to mount a variety of solo and group shows showcasing art, furniture and design. Artists who do not want to rent the space but are interested in having us arrange a show for them are welcome to get in touch to discuss terms.
We are also weighing the possibility of offering some ongoing opportunities, such as a life drawing session one night a week.

Bill and Scot, you have created a wonderful opportunity for many people interested in a flexible venue. The white/negative space is a perfect foil for many things. Thanks for your ideas.
