This article is a local events calendar for Savannah, Georgia, covering the week of May 12–21, 2026. Highlights include a SCAD Jewelry Trunk Show, a Telfair Museums anniversary preview of Impressionism and Modernity: French and American Painting with a lecture by National Gallery of Art curator Mary Morton, the opening of the Seven Ladies Exhibit at the Davenport House Museum, the 15th annual TEDxSavannah, a country concert by Ella Langley, a brewery anniversary party, a jazz fundraiser, and several preservation-focused lectures including one by National Preservation Partners Network CEO Kim Trent and a talk on landscape architect Clermont Lee. The Courtyard Concert Series at SCAD MOA concludes with local bluegrass band Swamptooth.
The article matters because it showcases the breadth of cultural and artistic programming in Savannah, from university-led jewelry design and museum exhibitions to historic preservation events and live music. It highlights how local institutions like SCAD, Telfair Museums, and the Historic Savannah Foundation engage the community through education, celebration, and heritage conservation. However, the piece is primarily a community calendar and does not contain in-depth art criticism or market analysis.
