This creative collective combines art, whimsy, and wellness! Take in the sights as you reflect on past, present, and future while enjoying time with locals and visitors alike.

Join the SCAD Museum of Art for a special members’ toast to preview the fall season of exhibitions. Speak with the curators and featured artists about their work with drinks on the terrace prior to the official opening celebration. Nine new exhibitions offer an expansive lens on the artists’ distinct visual vocabularies and mediums of storytelling, contextualizing the nuances of navigating our complex world with optimism for profound change.

The Walter and Linda Evans Center for African American Studies welcomes SCAD and Savannah community members to join the Savannah Photo Club for their monthly photo walk. Stroll through the historic city with a honed curiosity for visual nuances, starting at the SCAD MOA lobby. Bring your camera or smartphone and wear comfortable clothes in preparation for this two-hour walk around downtown. The promenade circles back to SCAD MOA just as the museum galleries open, so stick around to check out the latest exhibitions. All are welcome to join.
