Step into Savannah’s Historic Kennedy Pharmacy for DECADES, a compact but potent celebration of Location Gallery’s ten-year run. Located at 323 E Broughton St in Savannah, Georgia, the Preservation Center hosts a weeklong showing that gathers 36 artists under a single constraint—each work measures 10 by 10 inches—turning repetition into momentum and small frames into a collective portrait of the city’s creative pulse.
The opening event pairs the convivial energy of an art opening with a hands-on sustainability twist: a 1.5-hour workshop led by Loni Lewis teaches guests how to craft eco-friendly cocktails and sustainable mixing techniques, so you leave with both a drink and a practical skill to green your own celebrations. Gallery proceeds from the exhibition are donated to the Historic Savannah Foundation, connecting the show to local preservation efforts and the wider story of Savannah’s built environment.
Inside, expect a modular rhythm of paintings, prints, and mixed media that rewards close inspection. The tight format spotlights detail—gesture, texture, and invention—so bring a thoughtful eye and a steady hand for notes or sketches. Participating artists include Stacie Jean Albano, Sandra Attales, Claire Barrett, Adrienne Berkland, Angela Burson, Julia Christian, Len Ciliento, Kipling Collins, Brian Condon, Joy Dunigan and many more, each contributing a single square that converses with the rest.
The setting itself is part of the attraction. Historic Kennedy Pharmacy sits on E Broughton Street, one of the city’s walkable corridors, placing the show within reach of River Street, Forsyth Park, and Savannah’s grid of historic homes. Architectural details—the pharmacy’s original woodwork and pressed-tin ceilings—frame contemporary work, creating a near-cinematic contrast between preservation and present-day practice.
Practicalities matter: the opening night is lively and best for mingling and the cocktail workshop; weekday viewings in the Preservation Center offer quieter time with the art. The exhibition remains on view for one week after opening, so plan a morning or late-afternoon visit if you prefer less bustle.
DECADES is less about monumentality and more about attunement—how a constrained format can reveal range, community, and the textures of a place. For visitors drawn to small-format experimentation, local networks of artists, or the intersection of cultural stewardship and contemporary practice, this exhibition is a compact, generous encounter with Savannah’s creative scene.
Plan around the workshop’s small-group format—sessions run roughly 1.5 hours and accommodate a maximum of 20 people—so reserve a spot through the booking link. The exhibition’s intimate scale rewards slow looking, and visitors often combine a gallery stop with nearby walking routes that highlight Savannah’s historic squares and riverfront views. Whether you’re a local collector, a visiting art student, or a traveler chasing offbeat cultural experiences, DECADES offers a sharp, humane snapshot of contemporary practice rooted in place and civic stewardship.

The museum offers guided tours, self-guided visits, workshops, seasonal festivals, and educational events that highlight domestic life, architectural preservation, and community history. Knowledgeable docents lead guided tours through elegantly furnished rooms while sharing documented stories of the Davenport family and the 13 enslaved workers who lived and worked at the house.

Hands-on offerings include broom making and seasonal craft workshops, plus collaborative public events like the Davenport House Fall Arts Festival and Holiday Wreath Decorating held nearby in Columbia Square and at the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy. Visitors can choose a self-guided tour across the first three floors to explore architecture and exhibition panels at their own pace, or attend specialized demonstrations and family-focused preservation activities.
