Sand artists prevail against the weather By Sunny Smith Nelson While the official 2005 Savannah College of Art and Design Sand Arts Festival, scheduled 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. May 6 on the North Beach of Tybee Island, was cancelled because of inclement weather, several intrepid students turned out for a special early-bird competition, scheduled 6-8:30 a.m. Several of these students were awarded for their perseverance with a Severe Weather Sand Arts Contest Award.
