Time and Purpose: SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival brings focus on community

The people of Savannah witnessed a grand display of visual “street art” as Forsyth Park transformed into a sprawling canvas at the annual SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival. Beneath the late spring sun, hundreds of artists — from current students to alumni and even local high schoolers — chalked up their imagination onto the concrete squares.

As I wandered through the sidewalk gallery, it felt like stepping straight into a living dreamscape. Cartoon characters danced beside photorealistic portraits, surreal landscapes melted into abstract explosions of color — each square telling its own tale. The talent on display was jaw-dropping, but even more powerful was the shared energy of it all: artists laughing together, friends encouraging one another, and curious onlookers snapping photos while sipping sweet tea.
