I have marks to make exhibit Savannah Jepson Telfair 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
