Off the Coast of Paradise: Artists and Ossabaw Island, 1961–Now

Jepson Center
Off the Coast of Paradise: Artists and Ossabaw Island, 1961–Now will be the first major exhibition to explore the profound impact of an undeveloped, 26,000-acre barrier island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia, on artists working in the United States. The exhibition will focus on the Ossabaw Island Project (OIP) and Genesis—a pair of revolutionary multidisciplinary residency programs that ran on the island from 1961–1982—and their legacies in its examination of Ossabaw as a site for creative experimentation.
