SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN (SCAD) CELEBRATES 11 YEARS OF deFINE ART
Savannah College of Art and Design celebrates the 11th edition of SCAD deFINE ART, an annual program of exhibitions, new commissions, lectures, and performances that brings together an international group of emerging and established artists and creative visionaries.
The signature event, Feb. 18–20, will take place at SCAD Atlanta and Savannah locations, highlighting the university’s dedication to art programming, exhibitions, and community engagement.
Many of the university’s top-ranked degree programs, including fibers, film and television, painting, performing arts, and sculpture, are represented through the signature event’s exhibitions and programming. SCAD students and community members have the opportunity to interact with artists during the three-day event through gallery talks, master classes, installation collaborations, public art programming, and performances.
This year’s deFINE ART honoree is renowned artist Marilyn Minter. For over five decades, Minter has worked to radically redefine the nature of feminist art. From early black-and-white photographs of her glamour-obsessed, bedridden mother to her recent seductive, photorealist paintings, Minter rebels against the male-appointed dictates of female representation in consumer culture. For deFINE ART, Minter will open an exhibition titled Nasty Woman at the SCAD Museum of Art. Nasty Woman is a selective survey, highlighting the prescience of Minter’s early practice while simultaneously immersing viewers in an array of the artist’s most acclaimed work.
