Artistry in Octagon
7:00am – 10:00pm, Octagon
Artistry in Octagon celebrates the vibrant connection between local art and cuisine. Each quarter, a new artist will be featured in the lower dining section of Octagon, bringing the beauty of the Lowcountry’s fields and waters to life. As you dine on dishes inspired by the region, explore the artist’s work and let their creations tell the story of this natural landscape that is rich in culture.

For the months of October – December, as we focus on our Community, we are pleased to host local artist Amiri Geuka Farris, who celebrates the spirit of the Lowcountry through his work.

In this exhibit, named Reemergence: Color and Community, Amiri invites viewers to explore themes of cultural identity, connection, and renewal. Created exclusively for Montage Palmetto Bluff, this dynamic body of work blends abstract forms, figurative silhouettes, and collage to explore his Gullah Geechee heritage through a contemporary lens. Each canvas bursts with energy, echoing the rhythms of community, the spirit of resilience, and the beauty of the Lowcountry. Reemergence celebrates color as a powerful force for unity, storytelling, and shared humanity.

Known for combining artistic expression with environmental storytelling, Amiri’s work has been featured in over 50 solo exhibitions nationwide, including at the United States Capitol. Named Artist of the Year by the Penn Center in 2008, he continues to garner international acclaim for his inspired and diverse body of work.
