SCAD Style: Art in the Age of Education

Situated amongst the towering oaks, hanging Spanish moss and throughout the historic city, The Savannah College of Art and Design once again graciously hosted cutting-edge artists, designers, industry professionals and innovators for their annual SCAD Style event featuring lectures, exhibitions, panel discussions, book signings, workshops and more. With 59 speakers over 9 days and in 2 cities (events are held simultaneously at the College’s Atlanta campus), SCAD Style has made the South not only a launch pad for student creativity but a destination for those wanting to participate in a creative dialogue of the world today.

The 2 weeks in Savannah kicked off with the annual The Sidewalk Arts Fest competition that offered students, graduates, alumni and prospective students an open canvas, or sidewalk square, to show their skills. The ongoing drizzle and threat of more rain dampened the day somewhat, but many used this to their advantage creating a kaleidoscope of colored creations framed in the damp green of the park.
