Visit Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center during winter holiday break
During winter holiday break, bring the kids to Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center in Savannah to see a community exhibit that highlights art therapy and to create art at the daily drop-in studio.
Telfair Museums Community Exhibit pays tribute to the therapeutic and rehabilitative aspects of art. I Have Marks to Make, a community exhibition at the Jepson Center focused on art therapy, celebrates the power of art to transform lives.
Children 12 & younger receive free admission to Jepson Center. Museum admission for adults is $20. (Admission includes a visit to each of Telfair Museums’ three sites: Jepson Center, Telfair Academy, Owen-Thomas House. Valid for one week.)
The I Have Marks To Make exhibition features artwork by individuals of all ages with disabilities or in rehabilitation from injury or illness. The exhibition includes work from Telfair’s community outreach classes, art produced by more than 10 organizations and rehabilitation centers, and work from local schools.
Now in its 22nd year as one of the museum’s longest running programs, I Have Marks to Make began as an exhibition of art from the city’s Therapeutics Department. Later, it grew to include art from rehabilitation programs at local hospitals, students from Savannah-Chatham Public Schools, and in particular, Telfair Museums’ outreach programs to agencies that serve individuals with special needs.
Over half of the works featured in the exhibition are created in Telfair’s outreach programs to local health and wellness organizations. The artworks are inclusive, uncurated and illustrates the artistic capabilities of those in our community.
The exhibition will be on display in the community galleries until Jan. 1, 2017
