In November 1996, Canadian Frank Costin opened the Savannah Gallery in Anguilla. The gallery is a renovated historic building over a century old and is now home to a variety of artwork from local and regional artists alike.
Oils, watercolors, inks, prints, sculpture and crafts are all available at the gallery. Savannah is renowned for its extensive works from Haiti, including masters such as Stivenson Magloire, Prospere Pierrelouis and Louisanne St. Fleurant; elaborate vodou flags from the atelier of Joseph Sylva; and finely detailed, handcrafted tin work.
Regular travels bring in pieces from Dominica, St. Kitts, Jamaica, St. John, St. Barth, St. Croix, Trinidad and Tobago to name a few.
Artists from Anguilla include the works of Jo-Anne Mason, Charlie Connor, Louise Brooks, Aileen Lamond Smith, Melsadis Fleming and Tanya Clark. In addition, the photography of Suzy Doyle Webster and the measured architectural drawings of Iain Smith of Anguilla's historic buildings are also part of Savannah Gallery's collection.
Savannah Gallery is a worthwhile stop while in Anguilla, and a virtual visit in is possible at on the web.
