Art Rise Savannah invites everyone to join the Starland Community for the upcoming Art March on Feb. 6 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Ride the Free Art Trolley to make your way to all the locations at this month’s Art March. The trolley makes a loop every 25 – 30 minutes starting at the Indie Arts Market at 6:30pm, ensuring that attendees can see and experience as much of the art event as possible.
In the unfortunate event of heavy rain, Art Rise Savannah may have to cancel the Indie Arts Market. All other locations will be open and the trolley will continue to run. Stay tuned to our facebook and twitter for up to date information.
