We are delighted to announce the exhibition “The Sky I Keep” by Mexico City–based artist and SCAD alum Othiana Roffiel (B.F.A., painting, 2012) opens May 22 at the SCAD Museum of Art!
Through soft palettes and mesmeric textures, Roffiel fuses natural elements and bodily references in abstract compositions that invite viewers to reflect on the connections between human form and the cosmos.

“SCAD deFINE ART holds a special place in my heart as it creates a space for dialogue, reflection, and connection. This exhibition honors the traumas Iranian women endure in the pursuit of freedom. I value the opportunity to share their stories and to contribute to the place that nurtured in me a sense of belonging.” — Mona Bozorgi
Experience the final days of the powerful exhibition “Strain and Strand” by SCAD alum Mona Bozorgi (M.F.A., photography, 2018) through May 17 at #SCADMOA.

In “Psychic Repair,” Farah Al Qasimi showcases photography’s ability to simultaneously expose and conceal. 📸
Adorning the large-scale wall vinyl installation, stickers and framed photographs by Al Qasimi add visual signals to the work. The contrasting elements highlight the ways in which our brains instinctively try to create connections between familiar symbols in order to form a cohesive narrative. Al Qasimi challenges this response by placing opposing visuals within the same frame.
See for yourself in “Psychic Repair” on view through June 7 at #SCADMOA.
Longer days deserve art-filled nights! 🖼️
Enjoy extended hours at #SCADMOA Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m through May 28. Take the extra time to contemplate current works on view or enjoy dusk in the courtyard.

The 1866 novel “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoevsky is the medium in Laurie Anderson’s “Sidewalk” on view at #SCADMOA. 📖
Shredded copies of the famous novel are displayed on the floor and reflect projections of an accompanying film by Anderson. The work is inspired by a traumatic childhood accident which left Anderson in the hospital where she entertained herself by reading. Anderson later recounts her experience through the works by emphasizing the importance of literature and storytelling.
Experience the work in the exhibition “All in Your Head” on view through June 7.
Boundless expression speaks in Anish Kapoor’s “Earth Sky on Red Ground,” the U.S. debut of his formative painting oeuvre.
Kapoor’s compelling works are steeped in abstraction and color theory, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own reactions to the striking compositions. What do you see?
“Earth Sky on Red Ground” is presented in collaboration with @lisson_gallery and is on view at the SCAD Museum of Art through June 7.
Layered identities converge in Geoffrey Chadsey’s “Cat in the Bag” presented as part of the group exhibition “Personified.” 🐈
Chadsey takes a surreal approach to portraying the human form. By adding and erasing elements such as body parts, clothing, and accessories, he invites a new being into the public sphere featuring characteristics with seemingly a mind of their own.
“Personified” is on view at the SCAD Museum of Art through May 17.

At the Southern Living Home Summit, I shared the story of how our beloved, breathtaking SCAD Museum of Art came to be.
The tale begins with the nation’s oldest extant railroad depot—the Central of Georgia—located in downtown Savannah, which, by the early 1990s, stood ruined and roofless, its storied Savannah gray bricks set to be sold off and scattered, the site destined for a parking garage.
With care, conviction, reverence for every brick—and a big assist from the Historic Savannah Foundation—SCAD conjured from the historic depot’s remnants what is today known as the finest, most breathtaking, most ambitious teaching museum in international higher education.
Visit and experience it for yourself—world-renowned artists are on view all year long at @scadmoa . 🐝✨
