Flora Ranis in the ON::View Artist Residency: April 9th - May 1st, 2026

ARTS Southeast hosts multidisciplinary artist and storyteller Flora Ranis for the ON::View Artist Residency. From the Everglades, Ranis explores the melted, hand-shaped qualities of the built world and how everyday signals shape culture. During this residency, she reimagines familiar elements of Savannah’s landscape as parts of a contemporary origin tale, intertwining them with local plants and animals. Working across sculpture, soil-based pieces, painting, poetry, and even chain link fencing, she transforms mass-produced objects, maps, road signs, and other common cues into abstract forms that encourage viewers to rethink the visual language that surrounds them. The project treats the built environment as living folklore and views culture as fluid and malleable, shaped daily by human hands and minds. Ranis earned a BA from Yale University, where she studied ethnic studies and learned welding. Her recent recognition includes an emerging artist fellowship from NE Sculpture & Gallery Factory, residencies at The Steel Yard and The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center, and awards such as the Boynes International Young Artist Award, the Bill May Furniture Scholarship, and the Metal Museum’s Carlsen Family Scholarship. Her work has appeared in solo and group exhibitions nationwide, including presentations at Stonewall National Museum and Yale University. She also has two sculptures on view at Meredith Sculpture Park with a group exhibition forthcoming at the Art Complex Museum. The residency features a meet and greet, an artist talk, and a culminating presentation in conjunction with Starland First Fridays. The ON::View Residency is supported by investment from the City of Savannah and by Georgia Council for the Arts through the Georgia General Assembly, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Savannah-Community Breast Ultrasound Screening

At Magnolia Springs Family Practice, a community breast ultrasound screening by HerScan provides quick and affordable access to imaging that supports a proactive breast health plan. Ultrasound can detect cancers that mammography and physical exams alone might miss, and detection rates may increase from about 48 percent to as high as 97 percent, particularly for women with dense breasts. The experience is painless, uses no radiation, and is safe for those with implants. Each screening includes both breasts and the underarm area, along with a radiologist’s reading, and no prescription is required. The price is $295, noted as a value of up to $1,100.
