Description

Celebrate Black History Month at the SCAD Museum of Art on Super Museum Sunday with free SCAD Tours. Travel across time on a bus tour of Savannah that illuminates SCAD's commitment to preserving local Black history and the university's enduring fellowship with community leaders. From significant civil rights sites to major contemporary restoration initiatives, each stop on the tour centers visionary voices from Savannah's African American past, present, and future. Tours also include special performances by current performing arts students and American Idol winner Candice Glover (B.F.A. dramatic writing) and a screening in the SCAD MOA theater of the SCAD-produced documentary A Thousand Miles and Counting, which explores the historic journey of William and Ellen Craft as they traversed the country - including the site where the museum now stands - in pursuit of freedom from enslavement. Tours will start at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., and each tour will last approximately two hours. Founded in 1978, SCAD exists to prepare talented students for creative professions through engaged teaching and learning in a positively oriented university environment.
