If you’re ready to get back to that, no worries, it’s time.
After 14 months of being closed due to COVID, Henny Penny Art Space & Cafe is open and ready for little artists and their parents.
Kids and adults can visit seven days a week between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to make art, hang out, eat snacks, and drink coffee. Projects change from week to week, take less than an hour to complete, and cost $8.
Past art projects include mini-animal canvasses, 3D animal cut-outs, and mobiles.
Carrie Christian, art and activity coordinator at Henny Penny, breathes a sigh of relief to be back. Christian has facilitated projects at the space for three years and has been missing her young creators. She takes pride in making a space where it’s fun and easy to host activities that are often messy and sometimes challenging to do at home.
A decade on, Perc Coffee keeps grinding
About 10 years ago, musician Philip Brown packed up his family, moved from Athens, Georgia, to Savannah and started Perc Coffee in a 350-square-foot rented space. Now, Perc is arguably the official coffee of the Hostess City.
“One of the greatest things about Savannah is that from the very first day, I had amazing people who found me and were on ‘Team Perc,’” Brown recalls. “There were so many people in this town who bought into our success and helped, whether by buying a bag of coffee or helping me figure out a spreadsheet. Just all kinds of things.”
