Telfair Museums - Jepson Center
About
Telfair Museums runs its youth art program out of the Jepson Center on West York Street, Savannah's contemporary art museum on Telfair Square.
Programs
- Youth Painting & Drawing (9-12) - foundational technique with rotating mediums
- Youth Painting & Drawing (12-16) - advanced studio work for older students
- Digital Photography - shooting and editing fundamentals
- Summer Art Camps - daytime week-long camps in summer
- After-school sessions running 4:30-6pm Monday-Friday in 4-9 week blocks
What's Included
All materials are provided, and locations get emailed a week before the first class. Camps include museum admission and gallery visits as part of the program.
Experience
Classes meet inside the Jepson Center's modernist Moshe Safdie-designed building on Telfair Square, with some sessions moving outdoors to the surrounding squares for plein-air work. The museum context means studio time alternates with looking at the contemporary collection.
