Gotta love The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).  They give Savannah, an otherwise refined and well-bred town *wink*, a little art school raciness.  As anyone who’s been to the SCAD exhibits can attest, there is some pretty impressive work coming out of there.

Right now they’ve got two exhibits that are both must-sees and totally different from one another:

First, there is the Charmaine Ortiz “A Linear Perspective” exhibit at the Alexander Hall Gallery (668 Indian Street) now through July 23rd.  In it, the artist, a SCAD MFA, is looking to examine how things look as a structure and how they would operate within a space.

Second, there is the Jessica Clark exhibit at the Fahm Gallery (9 Fahm Street) called “Lumbee: Postmodern Natives.”  This artist is also a SCAD MFA, but she is a representational painter who creates highly detailed canvases from photographs.  Clark states, “my work is about the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina, a group of Native Americans. It’s based around my family.”

Check them out and let me know what you think!
