“A man within a woman, even more a god.”

Michelangelo used these words to describe Vittoria Colonna, the noblewoman, poet, and intellectual with whom he shared a remarkable friendship.

Join Dr. Emily Fenichel, Associate Professor of Art History at Florida Atlantic University, for ‘A Man Within a Woman: Vittoria Colonna and Michelangelo’s Friendship.’ Through a nearly decade-long exchange of letters, poems, and drawings, discover the relationship that connected two influential figures of the Italian Renaissance.

🗓️November 12 | 6–7pm
📍 Jepson Center – Neises Auditorium

Free for Telfair members and Director’s Circle members. $20 for non-members. Registration is strongly recommended.

How do we keep a tradition alive? Through the people who practice it, the knowledge they share, and the stories passed from one generation to the next.

This November, Telfair Museums brings together basketmakers, scholars, educators, and community members for ‘Community in Conversation: Carrying African American Basket Traditions.’

Across three days, explore the history, artistry, and continuing evolution of African American basketmaking through panel discussions, workshops, a lecture and more!

Join us November 5–7 at the Jepson Center and Telfair Academy as we celebrate a tradition woven deeply into the cultural fabric of the Lowcountry.

Free and open to the public, with select programs requiring separate registration.
