JUDGE ART COLLECTION

A Private Collection With A Public Focus

 

The Judge Collection represents the passion Judge Realty Founder and CEO Lori Judge has for local and regional art as well as her willingness to share this love with the public.

 

The collection, which is on display at the Judge Realty office in Savannah, has been built around the themes of the environment, energy, and the economy. The office ceilings and generously proportioned front windows provide the optimum opportunity for public viewing and enjoyment both inside and outside of the building, fulfilling the mission of public access to the private collection.

​

Lori Judge has a longtime commitment to supporting public art as well as local artists. Past projects have utilized the exterior of the Judge Realty office building as a blank canvas for local artists to share their creativity with the public.

 

Artist Jamie Bourgeois created a living moss mural titled "Mossterpiece," Katherine Sandoz’s “Flower Power” used recycled plastic bags re- purposed as flowers to surround an exterior door frame, and Will Penny’s digital technology display "Intersection" was projected onto the facade to create a nighttime illumination of shapes and patterns. All these past installations have helped to expand the definition of public art to include more than traditional monuments and sculptures.

​

Lori currently serves on the Board of Advisors for the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art and previously served on the Board of Trustees for the Telfair Museum of Art. She sponsors the Ships of the Sea Artist Residency, funds arts scholarships for University of Georgia students and supports Arts Southeast in Savannah. 

​

Lori hopes to redefine how creativity and art can be incorporated into the lives of the local community by making art accessible in nontraditional as well as traditional ways.
