If you know Serenbe, the nature-and-wellness community about 34 miles southwest of Atlanta, you know some of Tabb’s work — he created its master plan. Dr. Phill Tabb: A Retrospective, a multidecade exhibition of his watercolors, sketches and architectural drawings, includes some of his original Serenbe drawings. The exhibit opens Saturday with a 5 p.m. reception and closes April 11 with a 2 p.m. reception (at which Tabb will speak). Both events are free and open to the public. The location: Gainey Hall Gallery at Serenbe, where else?
