Throughout her storied career, actress Glenn Close has collaborated closely with costume designers to help bring the characters she embodies to life. Inspired by the creativity and craftsmanship she saw in her film and theater productions, she began collecting and preserving costumes and accessories from her projects after her first movie, The World According to Garp (1982). In 2017, she donated her over 800-piece collection to the Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection in the School of Art, Architecture Design at Indiana University.

First presented at the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University in 2020, The Art of the Character: Highlights from the Glenn Close Costume Collection will offer visitors a unique opportunity to thoroughly explore the careful consideration and exacting details that teams of designers, drapers, and other craftspeople created in over 50 ensembles and numerous examples of jewelry, shoes, and other accessories. It will feature the work of award-winning costume designers, including Anthony Powell (1935–2021), Ann Roth (b. 1949), James Acheson (b. 1946), and Alexandra Byrne (b. 1962), and costumers like Barbara Matera Ltd (active 1968–2001), from 14 of Close’s best-loved movies.

This exhibition is organized by Telfair Museums in partnership with the Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection at the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture, and Design of Indiana University.

THE NAUGHTY LIST
Back and better than ever, The Naughty List returns to The Vinyl Room for six festive weeks of cheeky holiday fun. The Naughty List is not your typical Christmas pop-up: this adults-only experience completely transforms The Vinyl Room into a sultry speakeasy with a spicy holiday twist. You’re on our list: for a taste of the not-so-nice festivities, add The Naughty List at The Vinyl Room Savannah to your holiday plans today.

But this year, there’s another side to the story.

THE NICE LIST
Up on the rooftop, The Nice List is making its sparkling debut at Pendant Terrace & Bar.The golden child to The Naughty List’s wild side, The Nice List brings a brighter, more playful spirit of the season to Pendant Terrace & Bar. This rooftop pop-up is designed for all ages with festive décor, twinkling lights, and cozy touches that make it the perfect place to gather. Bring family and friends to soak in the views, share sweet treats, and celebrate the magic of the season together.

This year’s installation leans into vintage Christmas charm: think classic holiday films playing overhead, timeless décor pieces that feel lovingly collected, and a few nostalgic surprises. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and meant to feel like the holidays always should feel: familiar, joyful, and just the right amount of sentimental.

To keep things comfortable no matter the weather, we’ve added plenty of heaters and soft blankets, making it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The menu highlights cozy dishes designed for sharing.

THE EXPERIENCE
For those who find themselves somewhere between sweet and scandalous, we present The Nice & Naughty Experience.

This self-guided evening moves you through both of our holiday pop-ups: The Nice List above, The Naughty List below. Santa, to put it gently, enjoyed Mrs. Claus’s eggnog a bit too enthusiastically this year. A few tasks were abandoned mid-festivity, and now he’s calling in reinforcements.

As you move between the two spaces, you’ll take part in a series of lighthearted challenges meant to help set Santa back on track. You’ll enjoy three curated cocktails along the way, uncover clues, trade theories, solve simple puzzles and trivia, and even take a cheeky holiday mugshot to commemorate the particular flavor of mischief that brought you here.

It’s an evening that lets you enjoy both sides of the coin, because most of us don’t fit neatly on one list or the other. And truly? That’s half the fun.

Join us for Team Trivia Night at The Draft Room at Berwick! It’s your weekly dose of brain-teasing fun! Test your knowledge across a variety of topics and compete for prizes! Join us every Tuesday night beginning at 7PM!
