Friends of African American Arts Members’ Small Works Exhibition 2024

Telfair Museums’ Friends of African American Arts (FAAA) formed in 2007 with a mandate to “raise public awareness and to promote development and understanding of art by African Americans.” Over the years, FAAA has evolved into a vibrant community of artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts, and in 2016 initiated an annual members’ small works exhibition in the Jepson Center’s community gallery. The current exhibition features work in varied media – painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media – by nearly 30 current FAAA members. The 2024 exhibition theme and title are inspired by Telfair’s presentation of the traveling exhibition Emancipation: The Unfinished Project of Liberation, currently on view, and will open in conjunction with the 2024 Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Lecture.
