n the following pages you will see that the Telfair was very active in 2008, organizing many exhibitions internally, hosting exhibi-tions from museums across the United States, and providing education programs that reach out to all parts of our community. Of particular note were the education programs surrounding the exhibition Freedom’s March. To extend the reach of this exhibition, the Telfair partnered with over a dozen com-munity organizations to develop programs highlighting the desegregation of Savannah during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. This exhibition and its related programming served as an important reminder to the com-munity at-large that the Telfair continues to be an institution that is accessible, relevant and lively! Programs like Gospel Brunch and Jepson Live provide the museum an incredible opportunity to reach out to new audiences. We are proud of our “product”, these pro-grams and exhibitions, and the progress we made in 2008.
Continuing to offer and enhance our “product” requires a fiscally sound, op-erationally efficient and artistically creative institution. In 2008 the Telfair Museum of Art focused on stabilizing operations in the near term and planning for an even stronger institution in the future. The initiatives set forth by our Board of Trustees in the fall of 2007—to enhance and expand a balanced collection; to enlighten and inspire people by providing enriching experiences with the arts; to achieve a sense of community ownership in the museum; and to provide the resources required to achieve these ends—were me-thodically reviewed by a strategic planning committee comprised of board members, staff, and community members, who spent countless hours developing a strategic plan to move the museum forward over the next five years. By the end of 2008, the strategic plan was in place and implementation began as we moved forward into 2009.
Director's Message
We continue to pay close attention to our facilities. In 2008 we took on the project of renovating the Sculpture Gallery in a remark-ably short time period, while simultaneously generating the funds to pay for the renova-tion. The first phase of the Owens-Thomas House restoration was completed and we now have plans in place to move forward on the last series of restorations of the exterior façade when funds are available. The progress we have made toward stabilization of the operating budget and the organizational structure of the Telfair over the past two years was greatly impacted by the economic down-turn that occurred in the 4th quarter of 2008 and continues today. The most proactive planning could not have spared us from the impact of this crisis and we continue to adjust our revenue projections and expense needs to protect the museum. We have made sig-nificant changes to “back of house” expenses (that this annual report is being distributed exclusively in an electronic format is one such example) and have minimized the impact of the recession on programs and exhibitions.
In these challenging times, we hold steadfast to our mission of providing excellent exhibi-tions and educational programming for our community. Your membership is a major factor in ensuring that this mission is fully real-ized. We thank you for your membership and invite those of you who are not yet a member to come and learn what the Telfair has to offer. Your involvement makes a difference to the exhibitions we create, the programs we offer and the lives of the people who connect with art through the Telfair. The support of our visitors, members and friends will deter-mine our success. We hope you will help us in making 2009 a successful year and in ensuring the future of the Telfair Museum as one of the country’s premier community-focused art institutions!

Picturing Savannah: The Art of Christopher A. D. MurphyFebruary 14 – June 1, 2008
The first comprehensive exhibition of works by Christopher Aristide Desbouillons Murphy, one of Savannah’s most accom-plished and beloved artists, Picturing Savannah featured 120 works drawn from numer-ous private and corporate collections, the Telfair’s own holdings, and the collection of the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta.
Silhouettes and Savannah Scenes: The Art of Helen Hatch InglesbyJune 11 – November 2, 2008
Drawn from a local private collection, this exhibition consisted not only of the silhouettes for which Helen Hatch Inglesby was best known, but also of fine examples of her paintings and drawings—providing insight into the production of an established woman artist working in Savannah’s vibrant art community of the mid-twentieth century.
Selections from the Permanent CollectionJune 21 – August 24, 2008
During the renovation of the Sculpture Gallery, the works typically on display there were relocated to the Academy’s upstairs galler-ies. Viewing these perennial favorites in a different, more intimate context brought a new perspective to these cherished paintings.

7Telfair Academy Sculpture Gallery RestorationJune – August 2008
In the summer of 2008, the Sculpture Gallery—designed by architect Detlef Lienau during his conversion of the Telfair family mansion to a public museum facility from 1883-1885—underwent extensive restoration and maintenance. Restoring the space to its original condition, the project involved removal of secondary frame walls which concealed the room’s period architecture and refurbishing the original decorative and structural features of the space. This important restoration was made possible through a gift in memory of Lois and Frank Dulany and their many years of support of the Telfair Museum of Art.

Featuring the work of one of the foremost glass artists of our time, this exhibition included a number of William Morris’s remarkable large-scale glass in-stallations. These complex and meticulously-crafted pieces—bearing greater resemblance to ancient artifacts than con-temporary glass art—draw on the artist’s abiding fascination with archaeology and prehis-toric tribal cultures.

2008 Owens-Thomas House Report
2008 brought many changes and improve-ments to the Owens-Thomas House. In the Dining Room, a reproduced 1820s-designed Brussels-woven carpet was installed, and the dining chairs were reupholstered using period-appropriate black horsehair.
Thanks to funding provided by the Telfair Academy Guild (TAG) in honor of former Telfair director Diane Lesko, the Music Room was transformed into the 1830s-era Family Dining Room to reflect the Owens period of occupancy. This important reinterpretation project included installation of the recently-conserved Owens family dining table, repaint-ing and glazing of the walls, marbleizing of the baseboards, and the purchase and installation of an 1830s-period reproduced Brussels-woven carpet. To complete the room, the Telfair Museum of Art purchased an Owens family mirror with funds provided by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Dunn and the Myrtle Jones endowment.
In the Master Bedchamber, or “Miss Thomas’s Room,” on the first floor, the space and furnishings were reconfigured to better reflect the 1830s time period to which part of the house is interpreted. As well, the Owens
family center table, chairs, and window seats were added to the room, replacing the Victorian furniture formerly on view.
In addition to these physical changes, the Owens-Thomas House hired a new Lead Interpreter, Paulette Thompson, and made refinements to interpretation. The tour was rerouted to begin in the basement, and more social history has been incorporated into the story of the house.
In June, the Telfair held its first annual Juneteenth Family Day at the Owens-Thomas House, with over 300 people in attendance! As well, significant time and effort were devoted to writing, editing, planning, and photographing the house for a large NEH Implementation Grant submitted in January 2009 and the new Owens-Thomas House book, which debuted in March 2009.
Sadly, Dean Owens Jr., a longtime friend of the Owens-Thomas House, died in October 2007. Owens remembered the Telfair in his will by directing funds in the amount of $70,500 to a trust, established in March 2008, to be restricted for the Owens-Thomas House.

Education Highlights
In 2008, the Telfair Museum of Art saw expanded studio programs and extensive partnerships, in addition to the museum’s previously established educational offerings for all ages.
Art-in-Focus ProgramsArt-in-Focus programs—made possible with project funding provided by the City of Savannah—brought 8,500 visitors to the Telfair’s three venues in 2008. For a second year, the Telfair held an Art and Technology Week, the only festival of its kind offered by a southeastern art museum. Attended by nearly 1,000 people, the program featured lectures, music, workshops, and art installations relat-ing to interactive sculpture, video, digital art, and creative use of gaming technology.
For the Freedom’s March exhibition, the Telfair’s education department worked with an advisory committee comprised of representa-tives from sixteen organizations to create a comprehensive schedule of twenty-five pro-grams offered at the Telfair and other venues
throughout Savannah. The museum also held its first Juneteenth program series in obser-vance of the oldest celebration of the end of slavery in America.
Tour, Student, and Educator ProgramsThe Telfair’s tour, student, and educator programs served a considerable number of visitors and community members in 2008. Throughout the year, 9,222 K-12 and college students participated in the museum’s tour programs. This figure included curriculum-based tours for all 4th-grade students (Christopher Murphy exhibition) and 6th-grade students (Fast Forward and Freedom’s March exhibitions) from the Savannah Chatham County Schools. Volunteer docents at the Jepson Center and Academy venues logged nearly 1,400 tour hours in 2008, serving more than 8,300 adult participants.
The Telfair partnered with the Massie Heritage Interpretation Center of the Savannah Chatham County Public Schools to host the
first in a three-year series of Teaching American History Symposia. As a part of each symposium organized by the Massie, teachers participated in Visual Thinking Strategies training by Telfair staff members and received lesson plans and posters of works from the museum’s permanent collection for classroom use. In 2008, the Telfair also offered its first annual professional development seminar for art educators of Bryan County.
Along with the City of Savannah and ten community partner organizations, the Telfair offered programs for individuals with disabilities including the 14th annual I Have Marks to Make exhibition.
Studio ClassesThe Telfair expanded its program of classes in 2008 to offer twenty-seven studio art classes for adults and youth and five summer camps, with an enrollment of 248 participants. In addition, the museum introduced drop-in figure drawing sessions on Thursday evenings and a very successful program of weekly Saturday morning yoga classes in the museum’s galleries.
Thursday Evening Programs, Lectures, and Films The Telfair offered thirty lectures and panel discussions throughout the year at the Jepson Center and Telfair Academy, with an attendance
of over 2,600 guests. As part of a new series linked to members’ openings, several special lectures were spon-sored by the Telfair Academy Guild. In addition, the museum hosted member group programs (TAG and FAAA monthly meeting lectures), outreach talks by staff members, and off-site partner organization lectures.
The Telfair partnered with a variety of film groups and organizations to offer a diverse program of sixteen film screenings in 2008. The museum offered films in conjunction with exhibi-tions (8 Bit, Picturing the Presidents, Frida, Right Now) as well as special screenings in partnership with The Live Oak Libraries (Fahrenheit 451), Reel Savannah Film Group (Up the Yangtze), Psychotronic Film Society/Coastal Jazz Association (My Name is Albert Ayler), Savannah Film Commission (Cindigenous, four short films), and the Gray’s Reef Ocean Film Festival (Ocean Voyagers). The Telfair also screened four children’s films at First Saturday events.

Family and Community Outreach ProgramsThroughout 2008, the Telfair continued its diverse offerings of family programs for visi-tors of all ages and backgrounds. Sponsored by the Byck-Rothschild Foundation and the Anderson Family Foundation, First Saturdays for Kids saw an increased audience in 2008, serving nearly 1,500 children and adults with free drop-in studio activities, storytelling, films, and performances. The popular Toddler Third Thursdays attracted 261 participants
and in addition, expanded to include a new monthly program on Fridays for students at Savannah’s Lady Bamford Early Childhood Learning Center, through the sponsorship of JCB. Family Days, offered quarterly through City sponsorship, drew 2,081 participants of all ages to the Telfair’s three sites.
Funded in part by the City of Savannah, Art for All programs were designed to provide outreach and museum-based programs for underserved audiences. In the past year, these programs served 1,620 urban youth, seniors, and audiences with disabilities.
Creative Development for Teens continued in 2008 with 92 youths from the local com-munity participating in workshops, and more than 500 teens and family members attending related events. The museum’s 2008 programs were designed to address teen interests and develop skills through classes such as anima-tion, fashion design, and portfolio develop-ment for college.
The Telfair partnered with the Savannah Black Heritage Festival to offer a talk by noted author Jabari Asim (The “N” Word) and two presentations of a mock trial based on the case of the slave ship Wanderer. In addition to packed auditorium programs, the museum offered a walking tour based upon the Wanderer trial.
