News brief: SCAD announces 30th Sidewalk Arts Festival

SCAD announces its annual Sidewalk Arts Festival, set on April 30, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Forsyth Park. The festival will begin with Films in Forsyth featuring family films, such as “The Goonies” and “Toy Story 3,” on April 28 and 29 on the big screen at the park’s band shell.

Returning for the second year is the Cyberwalk Arts contest for those unable to attend the festival in person. All events are free and open to the public.

The Sidewalk Art Festival is a cornerstone of SCAD Savannah’s spring activities that draws thousands of visitors to see temporary chalk masterpieces created by SCAD students, alumni and prospective students. Participants represent areas from animation to architecture.

Judges for this year’s festival include Ed Murrieta, senior creative director of character art for Cartoon Network; Dan Weiss, senior creative recruiter at American Greetings; and Rachel Cole, art director for Schwartz & Wade Books, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books.
