Pulse Festival changes due to Savannah winter storm
The upcoming winter storm has forced Telfair Museums to change the schedule for its Pulse Art + Technology Festival.
Telfair Museums, which is comprised of the Jepson Center for the Arts, the Owens-Thomas House, and the Telfair Academy, will close at 3 p.m. Jan. 28. All three sites will remain closed Jan. 29 and will re-open at 10 a.m. Jan. 30.
The PULSE Art + Technology Festival at the Jepson Center (207 W. York St. plus events at various other local venues) will open Jan. 30 and the free five-day event has been extended through Feb. 3. Telfair Museums will be open from noon-5 p.m. Feb. 3.
