After the Opening Ceremony, a Gallery Talk and Opening Reception will be held at 8:00 p.m. at the Peacock Gallery in Russell Hall. The Opening Ceremony will feature a documentary about the construction of the project by the Savannah College of Art and Design M.F.A. students, as well as spoken word performances by Peter Gareis, Khalilah Ali, and Queen Sheba. Also speaking will be special guests from the Georgia Department of Labor.
