Blessings Received and Thanks Given (part 1 of 3): Painted Colors of Love and Wisdom

(Memories, Cousin Ozena: by Luther E. Vann)







If I were to put a number on all the things for which I am grateful in 2008, at the very least that number would be 320 because that’s how many sunrises I have seen thus far this year. Days are not something I take for granted, for in the immortal words of the great rhythm and blues singer Dinah Washington, “what a difference a day makes.” Indeed, the events that transpire… Continue

In the Company of Banksy, Proust, and It Looks Like Me



(Urban wall art by the brilliant and elusive British artist known as Banksy)





One of my favorite thirty-second pastimes is to click on major websites for books and find out which titles customers are purchasing in addition to a specific book of my own. I was particularly curious about what the results might be in regard to ELEMENTAL The… Continue

Home and the Wanderer (Part 1 of 2)



From The American Poet Who Went Home Again





Why did I automatically agree with the American author Thomas Wolfe, who was from North Carolina, when I read the title of his classic book, You Can’t Go Home Again? Being African-American and having grown up in Savannah, Georgia, it might have made more sense to take my biographical and literary clues from Zora Neale… Continue

The Personal Journey of Years (Part 2)





The first public acknowledgment of the [ELEMENTAL] project came June 25, 1993, when the journalist John Ryan published a story titled “Kindred Spirits,” along with a photo of Aberjhani and I by Wayne Moore, in the Savannah College of Art and Design’s (SCAD) former weekly newspaper, The Georgia Guardian. At that time, the book’s working title was “The Way of All Light.” It later changed to “The Light and the Way of Luther E. Vann,” and… Continue

An Evening Out in Savannah





I’ve been honored to have one of my paintings, entitled “With These Hands,” included in the Telfair Museum of Art’s collection for several years now. But on April 16, the museum will host an exhibition of my work that will run until August 17, 2008. If you’re not in Savannah when the show opens, I hope you’ll make it to the city and catch it before the summer ends. It’s a special event to be shared with as many people as… Continue

Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
