Limerick Ladies by SCAD professor Denise Falk graces the Pei Ling Chan Gallery.

Art happens amid the lush squares of old Savannah. The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has painted this city in new broad strokes. It's become a major art destination, teeming with galleries.

First Stop
Start your day by exploring shopSCAD on Bull Street, with its intriguing collection of student and alumni work. You'll find handmade cards, jewelry, paintings, photographs, fabric sculptures, and illustrations of the city for sale. And you may get lucky--the art you buy now could one day be valued like a Warhol or Stieglitz. Before setting out across the city/campus, drop by Poetter Hall next door to pick up a school map.

The original works of students, alumni, faculty, and staff of the art college are featured at shopSCAD.

See the Art on the Walls
SCAD runs more than 10 galleries in Savannah (plus one in Atlanta and one in Lacoste, France). One of the best spaces, Pinnacle, fills the ground floor of an 1895 Queen Anne-style building on Liberty Street. Works by world-renowned artists rotate with those of SCAD grads and professors. Pinnacle has exhibited pieces by artists such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, William Wegman, Romare Bearden, Dale Chihuly, and Annie Leibovitz.
