SCAD sweeps through Broome Street

Once again, a handful of lucky artists from the Savannah College of Art and Design gets to display work in the Big Apple. For the past four years, SCAD has collaborated with the Broome Street Gallery, in SoHo, the heart of New York City’s artistic community. This year’s show, "A Different Light 2001," features an array of works selected by President Paula Wallace and Vice President for Physical Resources Glenn Wallace. Ranging from the most evocative photography to the most poetic of paintings, the show incorporates the gamut of media. Selected from almost 300 entries from SCAD students, faculty staff and alumni, the exhibition features some of the finest work produced at the college this year.

"The exhibition highlights not only some of the best work from the SCAD community, but also things that would be of interest to the New York community," said exhibition coordinator Joanne Owen.

Many works making the journey have been seen recently on the walls of local galleries. Both the multimedia digital collages of Ambler Hutchinson and the piezography prints of Mark Malloy are on display in NYC. Hung at Exhibit A this summer, Pamela Wiley’s embroidered works "Currency of Information: Forming I and II" will appear in the Broome Street show. Frequent flyers may recognize the colorful chunks of Todd McCutcheon, on exhibition at the airport as well as Broome Street. Craig Drennen’s slick twins "D Work" and "E Work" will be shown in addition to the corpulent woods seen in Robin Reynold’s "Molt" and "Millay Woods III." Other highlights of the exhibition are Nathan Spondike’s gentle "Palmetto" and Suzanne Jackson’s vivacious "Feastbeast." Of note are the sinister paintings, such as "Self Portrait Imitating a Stomach," of illustrator Chris Scarborough. The delicate collages of Rebecca Graham and the rustic assemblages of Ken Reker add texture to the show.

All the artwork on display is available for purchase. Participating artists receive 60 percent of the profits and the remaining 40 percent will go toward student scholarships.

In addition to the exhibition, students who are interested in attending SCAD are invited to visit the gallery and meet with admission representatives on March 10, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. at a Prospective Student Portfolio Review and Information Session.

The Broome Street Gallery is open Tuesday-Sunday, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. For more information, call 525-5225. For information on the Prospective Student Portfolio Review and Information Session, please call 525-5100 or (800) 869-SCAD.
