We hope you’ll help us kick off the holiday season with Telfair’s annual tree lighting celebration sparking joy and bringing the community under one roof. A hot cocoa bar, homemade cookies, and children’s art activities will take place in the Jepson Center’s Richard and Judy Eckburg Atrium.
Come celebrate the holiday season at this annual favorite event. Enjoy warm beverages, tasty treats, and local music in the garden at the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters. The house will be open for tours, offering a unique evening experience. Visitors also will have a chance to see the newly reinstalled Boys’ Bed Chamber, made possible through the sponsorship of the Friends of the Owens-Thomas House.
Engage with Telfair’s newest exhibitions in a nontraditional way with meditation guide, Ericka Tiffany Phillips.
Artist Sharonna Ray will lead a fun painting workshop in which participants will create paintings that look good enough to eat.
Telfair presents an opening program featuring
stories from Marks’ artists and community partners, followed by a 3pm reception for participants, friends, and families.
Start your day with art with our new and combined programs! Once a month, our youngest patrons are invited to the Jepson Center for story time, a special tour, and an art activity. Strollers, crying babies, toddlers, and older siblings are all welcome here.

What a person wears tells a story. From the choice of specific attire, colors, accessories, and fabrics to the way in which someone inhabits their clothes (comfortably, stiffly, self-consciously …), we find clues that chronicle the nature of the person in front of us, both on the superficial societal level and on the deeper psychological level. In this workshop, we’ll be working on one long pose with an elegantly dressed model (with a twist!) to find/create their story.
