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.

Join the SCAD Museum of Art’s Evans Center for African American Studies for a special screening of the film Becoming Thurgood: America’s Social Architect. Thurgood Marshall was born in Baltimore’s Sandtown, where grit met genius. His story begins there, but it doesn’t end until justice is served. A proud HBCU grad, Marshall attended Lincoln University, where he paid his own tuition, and then Howard Law School. Attending these prestigious historically Black universities served as the foundation for his fight for equality — and his eventual success, winning 29 of the 32 civil rights cases he argued before the Supreme Court. His relentless persistence laid the groundwork for the dismantling of Jim Crow segregation. Becoming Thurgood explores the life and influence of the nation’s first African American Supreme Court Justice and the driving force behind the greatest legal battles of the civil rights movement.

Following the screening, the museum welcomes Cecilia Marshall (SCAD B.F.A., photography, 2002), granddaughter of Thurgood Marshall, and historian Felicia Bell, Ph.D. (SCAD M.A., historic preservation, 2002), in conversation on Marshall’s legacy and the historical impact of his work.

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP to Andreia Wardlaw at awardlaw@scad.edu.
