Jepson Center
Off the Coast of Paradise: Artists and Ossabaw Island, 1961–Now
will be the first major exhibition to explore the profound impact of an undeveloped, 26,000-acre barrier island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia, on artists working in the United States. The exhibition will focus on the Ossabaw Island Project (OIP) and Genesis—a pair of revolutionary multidisciplinary residency programs that ran on the island from 1961–1982—and their legacies in its examination of Ossabaw as a site for creative experimentation.

The World of William O. Golding - Telfair Children's Art Museum
May 10, 2025 - Ongoing
Jepson Center
Step into the vivid, hand-drawn world of William O. Golding—Savannah-born sailor, storyteller, and self-taught artist. Through interactive exhibits and animated journeys, children can touch, explore, and reimagine the ports and ships that shaped both Golding’s life and Savannah’s maritime legacy. His childlike drawings invite young visitors to see their own city with fresh eyes—and to create their own stories in color and line.

A Seat at the Table
is a solo exhibition of figurative paintings on canvas and a site-specific mural by artist Julia Roland (b. 2002). A recent graduate of SCAD who grew up in Savannah, Roland’s identity as a queer Black woman from the American South informs her practice, but she sees the works speaking broadly to the human need for community.

The tenth annual Boxed In/Break Out is a collaboration between Savannah-based artists Lisa D. Watson and Dana Richardson. Combining sculpture, painting, and text, the artists will transform each window into a theatrical narrative where fragile ecosystems take center stage. The scenes will invite viewers to step into an immersive experience that bridges the divide between human-made and wild spaces.
