Telfair’s Making Marks exhibition is the essence of community art, showcasing works by diverse individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, and highlighting the empowering experience of creating.

Themes found in this exhibition reflect the positive impact art can make in our lives and remind us that artmaking is for everyone.
