Vacations have been synonymous with summertime since we were memorizing the alphabet and waiting for the bell to ring. Obviously, the time for a family trip was when schools were closed.

FRIDAY MAY 3

6 P.M.—Get artsy in the Starland District with the First Friday Art March starting at 6 p.m. Businesses along Bull Street between Park and Victory Drive will be open with special events, giveaways, and exhibitions for the night. Make sure to stop by Home Sweet Home, a photography exhibition at Non-Fiction Gallery and the overhaul party for These Friends Too, Desotorow Gallery’s annual no-holds- barred art show.

You may have heard a few of these terms tossed around lately—reusing, repurposing, recycling, upcycling—and maybe you are savvy enough to know what they mean, but if you missed the memo, don’t fret! South magazine is here to get you on track with the hottest trend in town, starting with Sicky Nar Nar’s The Furniture Show, Friday, May 3, 7-10:30 p.m. The show, part of the First Friday Art March between Forsyth Park and Victory drive, is comprised of SCAD Furniture Design student work that uses reclaimed materials from places in Savannah, like Southern Pine.
