New exhibition explores Ossabaw Island's profound impact on American art

The Telfair Museums is set to open "Off the Coast of Paradise: Artists and Ossabaw Island, 1961–Now," a major exhibition exploring the creative legacy of Georgia's third-largest barrier island. Curated by Erin Dunn and Beryl Gilothwest, the show traces the history of the Ossabaw Island Project and the Genesis Project, initiatives that transformed the island into a secluded retreat for artists, thinkers, and scientists for over sixty years.
