About the Exhibition:
For more than three decades, Telfair's annual Making Marks exhibition has celebrated community art making, highlighting the work made by individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Art making provides opportunities for self-expression, creative development, and healing. Much of the art featured is made in group environments as part of Telfair's extensive outreach programming at Savannah area community partner sites. The exhibition includes art made under the guidance of Telfair outreach instructors at local health and social service organizations, along with art made by local students, veterans, and incarcerated individuals. Making Marks reflects on the positive impact art can make in our lives.
