The Telfair Children's Art Museum (CAM) is a place where kids can experience art, learn how it is created, and be inspired to make their own artwork. The Telfair Museums are a series of three museums located in Savannah, Georgia focused on showcasing art and architecture. CAM is located in the Jepson Center for the Arts, the Telfair's modern art museum. The traditional art museum experience is not conducive for kids. They are told not to touch, be quiet, don't run around. CAM was designed to create an art museum experience that is 100% kid friendly. Kids can touch, explore, and move all they want to while learning basic art principles.

​

CAM was also designed to be a rotating exhibit space. This encourages parents to bring their children back at different times so they can experience and learn something new. The exhibit space is divided into three main sections. Upstairs is a digital experience where guests activate different interactions in the digital environments by standing on different trigger points. Downstairs is a tactile exhibit area where kids can learn through hands-on activities such as playing with blocks, magnets, tops, and more. The third area is an immersive area that combines scenic design with a digital environment, for both tactile and digital interactions.

The first exhibition showcased Impressionism and focused on the history, subject matter, tools, colors, and techniques that Impressionists used to create art. My role on the project included interior design, scenic design, tactile exhibit design, interpretative writing, construction documentation, product design, and assisting in the assembly of the exhibits.
