If you have ever visited Savannah then you know that besides the Southern Gothic feel of the place, like 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil', there is a highly artistic side to the city thanks to Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The university was founded in 1978 and has become one of the top 25 schools to attend for the arts.
The entire university is sprinkled throughout the historic district of Savannah and they have done an excellent job of preserving the charm of Savannah while making it a functional, creative place for the students. While you walk through the many squares you can find students painting or drawing. There is a lot of emerging talent!
There is also a store called ShopSCAD where current students and alumni can sell their wares. I wish I had pictures inside the store because it is AMAZING but they don't allow photography = ( But at least here is the front! Good news is that you can shop online here. One of the first artists I discovered in that store was Tiffani Taylor. She does pottery, paintings, and also stationary. Here are some examples of her work:
Some of the most amazing jewelry artists can be found at ShopSCAD. Two of my favorites are Megan Clark and Halligan Norris.
Here is some of Megan
Here is some of Halligan:
Definitely check out the store. This is just a sampling of the many talented artists featured at the store.
Well, I hope that this has whetted your appetite for more Savannah. I am so glad that such an amazing school like SCAD is in that wonderful city. If you ever visit there you will be inspired by the young artists there!
