Melchers members are excited to host & welcome Director's Circle Members to join them for a special lecture by Dr. William L. Coleman on the personal art collecting of Hudson River School landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), a contemporary of Mary Telfair and Carl Brandt.
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.
Telfair will again open its doors and offer free admission for the venerable Super Museum Sunday celebration in connection with the Georgia History Festival. Hands-on art making activities for families will be offered at the Jepson Center only.
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.
Telfair Museums will present four screenings of A Lot of Sorrow (2013–14), a collaboration between Icelandic conceptual artist Ragnar Kjartansson and the American band The National. Capturing a performance at MoMA PS1 in 2013, this meditative film runs for 6 hours, 9 minutes, and 35 seconds.
The most significant fundraiser for our institution, the Telfair Ball provides a platform for patrons of the arts to gather with the common goal of raising essential funds that allow the museum to serve our community in exceptional, life-changing ways.
Meet Telfair Museums' Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Erin Dunn and fellow TC members for the First Friday Art March in Savannah's Starland District.
