CONVERGENCE is an #art912 survey exhibition that brings together more than 40 works from Telfair Museums’ permanent collection from recent or current Savannah-based artists. From photography, watercolor, mixed media, encaustic, acrylic, charcoal, graphite, ink, oil paint, sculpture, and digital art, the exhibition celebrates the rich breadth of works produced in Savannah and collected by Telfair in the last decades. Converging in one space for the first time, the selected works speak to the creativity, distinct qualities, and undeniable vibrancy of Savannah’s local arts’ scene.

This exhibition is organized by Telfair Museums and curated by Erin Dunn, curator of modern and contemporary art and Anne-Solène Bayan, assistant curator.
