Description: The Telfair Museum of Art is actually three separate and distinct facilities operated by the same organization. The Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences is a traditional art museum housed in an impressive historic mansion. The Jepson Center for the Arts, which merits a separate entry, focuses on modern art and has its own flashy modern building catty-cornered to the original Telfair. We’re covering both art museums here, under the heading of their parent organization. Note that you can get better admission rates with a combination ticket for all three sites at $15 (family rate $30).

Description: Chuck Hamilton and Grant Nelson are partners in this gallery, which also shows other artists. It’s all contemporary and includes many larger pieces. The nudes that sparked the birth of the gallery aren’t shocking, just a good reflection of how conservative Savannah can be. Potters, jewelers, and photographers are represented as well, and there is an affiliation with an English gallery so there is a regular exchange of international work.Don’t look here for soft watercolors or memento landscapes of Savannah. It’s young, funky, and even sells T-shirts sporting a Latin phrase that translates (roughly) as “We don’t do snobby.” Don’t be misled, however; there’s good stuff here.

Description: This gallery, strategically located on a corner near City Market, represents many artists, but the works share some characteristics—large, bold, colorful canvases. Although there is some regional work here, locals are well represented. We’re particularly fond of the electric-bright renderings of marsh scenes. The gallery also displays art glass.

Address: 209 East River St.

Description: This River Street gallery is the place to start your search for local artwork. Stuff here varies in quality, from some wannabe artists to the real thing. We especially like the enamel jewelry, such as a jewel-tone seahorse. In addition to paintings that run the gamut from very good to not very, you’ll find fiber art and interesting and affordable ceramics. This stuff will appeal more to consumers than art museums, but what’s wrong with that?

Description: Built in 1792, this stately church reflects a style reminiscent of colonial New England (some of the founders of Midway were descendants of Puritans from Massachusetts who had settled in South Carolina). The existing building replaced a church that was burned by the British in 1778. The church is a short walk from the Midway Museum, and you can obtain a key from a museum staff member and take a look inside. The church has no heating system or artificial lights, but services are conducted there each April by the Midway Society. For inquiries and service times, email info@themidwaymuseum.org.
