This year’s annual Scholarship Gala was a hit among Atlanta art and fashion lovers. Doubling in size since its inception in 2008, the fundraising event included a fashion display from donor and honorary event chair, Cornelia Guest; a silent auction of student artwork; cocktails and h’or d’oeuvres from Dennis Dean catering; live entertainment by the band, Kingsized; and artist demonstrations by faculty and students. Gala guests not only enjoyed a fun and fabulous evening, but also raised money for SCAD Atlanta’s scholarship fund. Assistant Director of Media Relations Jennifer Jones said that the event is “a great way to get the word out that SCAD raises money for its students.” The combination of these two endeavors, raising money for SCAD students and creating a stylish event for the Atlanta art community, benefits students as well as the Atlanta art and social scene. Dean Art Malloy asserts that “[the Scholarship Gala] has the potential to become the biggest art event in Atlanta.” Above is a pictorial display of the event.
The art of dreaming
March 11, 2010
By Rachel Chaikof
In her Introduction to Psychology courses, professor Trina Brown, Ph.D., asked her students to create a short illustrated children’s book based on their own evaluations of their dreams.
At the beginning of the quarter, Brown said, she asked students to record their nightly dreams in a dream log for the first few weeks of the course. Then at midterm, the students each selected a dream they felt best represented some aspect of their lives. They used the events, images, emotions and ideas from that dream to create a children’s book. Students used a variety of media, including digital video and mixed media.
Brown said the project was a supplement to a more theoretical discussion about the research of dreams. It gave students a chance apply psychological concepts to their lives and to integrate the concepts with their understanding of art and design, which are both key learning outcomes for the course, she said.

The Connector covered the SCAD-Atlanta students, staff, and faculty that were present at the show, as well as SCAD-Atlanta student work featured in the show and at the afterparty.

A Taste of England
April 13, 2009
International Coffee Hour, an event that Dean of Student Services Art Malloy says aims to educate the SCAD community about other cultures, took place in the Hub on April 8. “Our goal is to increase the level of cultural competency by introducing students to the cuisine, snacks and customs of various countries,” said Malloy. “It is also our hope that we can provide a little piece of home for our international students and those members of the faculty and staff that come from to different countries.” A different country will be featured at each event. This time, the event featured coffee and platters of English food. “Based on the attendance at the English Coffee Hour, we should expect a good turnout for coffee hours planned for the future,” said Malloy. This event also served as a platform to introduce Brett Reichert, SCAD-Atlanta’s new coordinator of international student services and student conduct. Reichert also will work with UNI, a SCAD-Atlanta student organization that welcomes international and American students, to coordinate future coffee hours.
