One of the beautiful and intricate Guo Peì designs on display at the SCAD Museum of Art.
Entering SCAD's Welcome Center in Poetter Hall is a lot like stepping through the looking glass in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Original art available for purchase from students attending the Savannah College of Art & Design. It's fun to play “spot the major” to see if you're able to tell the difference between fashion design students, film majors, or illustration artists just by a cursory glance at the clothes + hair. SCAD students bring such an air of vibrancy to the city! You'll spot them on colorful SCAD busses, walking to and from classes, and darting through traffic on their bikes. The Guo Peì Collection exhibit was a favorite of recent options, but there's always something new and exciting to check out. The museum features rotating exhibits of contemporary art that change with each new academic quarter. ⭐ Insider Tip: Track down students via their website or Instagram account and commission work from them for less than half the cost you'd pay on the SCAD Art Sales site to totally make their day. The school takes a hefty cut at either place, so that's why you'll see such hefty price tags. You can also commission an artist to create a custom piece via SCAD Art Sales. For more info, check out their website at ShopSCAD. Just a heads up: the store is veryyyy pricy. You'll find beautiful jewelry, paintings, photography, illustrations, leather, and more from students in many of SCAD's illustrious design programs.
