Think of the ways you show devotion in your everyday life: To your loved ones, to your work, to your hobbies and passions. Imagine if someone collected them and displayed them as a piece of art! Susie Clinard has done this with her collection Art of Devotion.

The Art of Devotion is a contemporary exploration of private devotional images that have served as visual aids to individual prayer and contemplation throughout the centuries. SCAD alumna Susie Clinard combines discarded religious ephemera, prayer cards and other household articles in her work. She is recycling bits and pieces of our culture that would be lost unless incorporated into a new use.

What happens when a Southern sporting tradition, a cast of characters and a whole lot of firearms mix together? Friendship, competition—and yes, a few cock-and-bull stories.

Shooting shotguns is really fun. Whatever your politics, there is no way around that simple fact. To brace the stock in the nook of your shoulder, to look down the sight, trace a target, squeeze the trigger and watch the flying orange clay disc disintegrate as the gun explodes back into your body is a rush without compare.

“It’s like potato chips,” explains retired Air Force chief master sergeant John Culpepper, one of the older pro shooters at the Forest City Gun Club. “You can’t eat just one.”

15 ways to reach health Nirvana—without leaving Savannah.
Perfection, a state of existence void of all error, flaw or deficiency: No matter how you slice it, it’s a lofty goal. Regardless of whether it’s physical, spiritual or intellectual Nirvana, it’s an intimidating concept potent enough to send normally sane people into bouts of sleeplessness and lunacy as they attempt to measure up to the idea.

But that’s not to say we all shouldn’t strive to inch just a little bit closer to that supreme idea of being the very best version of ourselves. Luckily, Savannah boasts hundreds of ways to enhance both the yin and the yang, the spiritual and the physical, the active and the contemplative. The possibilities for a mind or body boost are virtually endless. With that, South presents its first ever guide to becoming the best you—in the best city in the South.

Sixty-eight years after one of the deadliest attacks on American soil, Judy Weiher can’t shake the smell of smoke.

“I thought the whole world was on fire,” remembers Judy Weiher.

To a 4-year-old girl, that’s probably what it looked like at 8:00 in the morning on December 7, 1941, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The infamous attack on Pearl Harbor had begun—to the complete surprise of the United States Navy and Army. Just a few months earlier, Judy Weiher’s father had received orders to be stationed at the Army base on Oahu, known as Schofield Barracks. Weiher, now 72 and living on Wilmington Island, was just a toddler at the time, but the images she saw from her front row seat to history have remained with her for nearly seven decades.

Her first reaction to the bombs that morning, however, was not one of fear but of astonishment. The raid officially began at 7:53 a.m. with an attack by the first wave of Japanese “Zero” fighter planes. Weiher’s father, Ralph Mullis, a Signal Corps staff sergeant, ran out of their quarters in his underwear. As a child, Weiher was more concerned with her father’s appearance than the bombs exploding overhead. “I was absolutely appalled that he’d run outside in his underwear,” Weiher recalls thinking at the time. Moments later, her father rushed back inside, quickly got into his uniform and ran to the area known as the quadrangles to see what he could do.

SCAD’s deFINE ART Festival has been a great success so far this week with great seminars and discussions. But what everyone seems to be the most excited about is the upcoming performance by internationally acclaimed artist Nick Cave. With the use of his soundsuits, or performative wearable sculptures, Nick plans to create, in his words, a spoken word, dance, DJ music extravaganza.

In preparation of the final event with Nick Cave and his multimedia cube, hours of rehearsal have been taking place to ensure the audience will not be disappointed.

Cave has created a 4-channel video piece that will be projected onto the sides of a 12′ x 12′ cube on top of the stage and as the video ends a crane will lift the cube up revealing a performer inside wearing a sound suit to begin the dance performance.
