The Artist’s Market
In the late 20th century, City Market began a new chapter as Savannah’s creative epicenter. Artists and craftspeople were drawn to its restored warehouses, filling them with studios and galleries. Today, more than 40 working artists maintain spaces here, making City Market one of the South’s largest concentrations of resident artists in a single destination. Visitors can watch painters at their easels, sculptors at their benches, and jewelers shaping metal into unique designs. Art is not only displayed but made in real time, inviting guests into the process. Galleries range from traditional landscapes to bold contemporary works, reflecting Savannah’s diverse culture. For many emerging artists, City Market provides both affordable space and direct connection to the public. This creative community has turned the historic marketplace into a living studio—continuing the tradition of trade and exchange, but now with art as the currency.
