Where to go, what to see and who to know in the world of Southern arts and culture. This blog masterfully blends art, culture, and local exhibitions around the American South. Uniquely Southern, topics on this arts and culture blog include art, artists, installations, paintings, photography, graffiti, fashion and more. Above all, you will discover how culturally rich the South has become, especially its bigger cities such as Atlanta, Savannah, Nashville, Charleston and Charlotte. Moreover, smaller towns like Greenville, S.C. and Birmingham, Ala. are not far behind. The arts and culture scene is what is driving these burgeoning cities of the South.

I know I’m Two-Sided Southern when I’m in my hometown of Atlanta, and the small turn-of-the-century bungalows of Decatur and Candler Park delight me as much as the ornate Victorians of Inman Park. The Greek revival homes with their stately white columns across Middle Georgia are as pretty to me as the smaller tudors with their sloping roofs that have been left untouched around my neighborhood of Lake Claire and Druid Hills.
I am always fascinated by what outsiders think of the South or Southerners and their style. Most southerners are stylish, and many people find that surprising. Not me.
