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.

Reset Your Breath. Reset Your Nervous System. Reset Your Life.

If you’ve tried meditation, supplements, yoga, long walks, or “deep breathing” — and you still feel wired, anxious, tired, or unable to fully shut off — you’re not broken.

Your breathing mechanics are.

The 6‑Week Breath Reset is a guided, science‑backed program that retrains how your body breathes 20,000 times per day. Using functional breathing and Oxygen Advantage®‑inspired methods, this program targets the physiology driving stress, anxiety, sleep disruption, low energy, and mental overload.

This is not a meditation class. This is not like any breathwork you’ve done before.

This is respiratory physiology — taught in a way you can feel working from week one.

What You’ll Gain in 6 Weeks
• A calmer, more efficient breathing pattern
• Reduced daily stress and anxiety
• Improved CO₂ tolerance and oxygen efficiency
• Deeper sleep and better recovery
• Improved focus, mood, and emotional regulation
• Practical tools you can use anywhere — work, workouts, bedtime, or overwhelm

Each week builds intentionally, moving from breathing mechanics to nervous system regulation, sleep, and long‑term integration.

What’s Included
• Six 60‑minute small‑group sessions (in‑person in Savannah virtual option)
• Progressive breath training curriculum
• Guided practices each week
• Simple daily micro‑practices designed for real life
• Progress tracking (BOLT score, breathing patterns, sleep & energy)
• Supportive, non‑judgmental group environment

No prior experience required. If you can breathe, you can do this.

Thinking about writing a memoir?

Let this class move you from thinking about writing to actually getting started. Whether you are at the idea stage or have a few chapters underway, this course will help define your origin story and grow the arc of the narrative from there.

We will explore personal essays and micro-memoirs as well as ethical issues and the nature of truth in reconstructing events and characterization. By the end of the course, you will have five to ten pages of a pivotal moment from your story.

Classes meet every Monday for six weeks, beginning Feb. 16, 2026.

Mondays, Feb. 16-March 23, 2026, 6:30 – 8:00 P.M.

The ATC returns for it’s 33rd consecutive year of “wow”-ing Savannah audiences. If you’ve never attended, this is the perfect year. With a full bar inside Victory North, plus ample parking nearby, it’s so easy to get to the venue. 2026 Contestants include Broadway superstars, award-winning Jazz singers, a top 6 contestant from American Idol season 7 (you can watch him sing with Cynthia Erivo and Katy Perry on youtube), plus internationally-recognized opera singers and more. Does it sound like all these amazing people can’t possibly be competing with each other? Come enjoy the abundance of musical riches we share at American Traditions Vocal Competition, and enjoy the great variety of American music we represent through these wonderful artists.

The competition runs like sports playoffs: 24 Quarterfinalists compete in the first four rounds, and then we cut to the top 12 who will compete in the semifinals. Only five Finalists will advance to Friday night where they sing for top prizes, including a chance to sing with our wonderful Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra. Come for certain events or for the whole week – weeklong passes are available, as well as individual tickets.

Tickets start at $20 for adults, and are free for students with registration!
