About this organization

The museum develops awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the arts and serves as a dynamic cultural center connecting people of all ages and backgrounds.
About
Exhibitions - in 2018, the museum presented 27 exhibitions of fine and decorative arts, 23 of which were organized by Telfair. The featured exhibitions ranged from an installation of technology-based art commissioned for the museum's annual pulse art + technology festival to masterworks of French impressionism. A highlight of 2018 was Telfair's organization of the exhibition Paul Stephen Benjamin: Reinterpreting the Sound of Blackness, the first solo museum show for this Georgia-based artist occupied with questions of race and identity. Other significant exhibitions included Carrie Mae Weems; Sea Islands Series, 1991-1992, which presented a noteworthy body of work made in and around coastal Georgia early in this seminal artist's career that had never before been exhibited in a museum in the region.
