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

March 13September 6, 2026 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.

#art912, A Seat at the Table

January 9December 6, 2026 Jepson Center

A Seat at the Table is a solo exhibition of figurative paintings on canvas and a site-specific mural by artist Julia Roland (b. 2002). A recent graduate of SCAD who grew up in Savannah, Roland’s identity as a queer Black woman from the American South informs her practice, but she sees the works speaking broadly to the human need for community.

Divided Loyalties: Stories of the American Revolution

July 24, 2026February 28, 2027 Jepson Center

As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Telfair Museums will feature works from the permanent collection that reveal the complications of living in revolutionary times, especially in Savannah. Portraits from the 18th century put faces to the challenges of this period. While colonial politicians and businessmen were at odds with families, friends, and partners, women made difficult decisions to protect themselves. Meanwhile, people of African and Indigenous descent were left out of critical conversations yet pulled into violent clashes.

Welcome to the Dollhouse

June 5, 2026May 9, 2027 Jepson Center

The eleventh annual Boxed In/Break Out features five large-scale wooden dollhouses filled with wallpaper patterns by Joanna Paige Silver (b. 1988). Inspired by her own memories, experiences, and photo diaries, Silver creates nostalgic domestic scenes often in states of disrepair. Imbued with vibrant patterns and paired with floral imagery, Silver’s works evoke the oscillating feelings of disappointment and unwavering hope. In this installation, the bright backgrounds pay homage to the character of the homes found in Savannah but also reflect the disappointment of the housing crisis which has made it difficult for many Americans to reach the milestone of owning a home as an adult.

Both galleries tell stories of markets and craft legacies, helping to draw lines of continuity through a dynamic history.

April 24, 2026April 4, 2027 Telfair Academy

Roots in the Rushes: African American Basketry of the Lowcountry explores the intricate history of this basketmaking tradition in the region.
