ShopSCAD, Savannah

ShopSCAD in Savannah presents a unique and creative fusion of a gallery and a retail space. This 1,200 square-foot store, established in 2003, is a brainchild of the Savannah College of Arts and Design (SCAD), and was founded following the recommendations of Paula Wallace, who is now the President of the college. As a vibrant representation of the talent within SCAD, ShopSCAD features an eclectic collection of works from the college's students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

The store stands out for its broad range of artistic creations. Visitors can explore an ever-changing inventory that includes an impressive array of artworks alongside a variety of other items. These range from handcrafted jewelry and beauty products to books, stylish handbags, and clothing, all showcasing the diverse artistic fields offered at the college. The daily updates to the inventory ensure a fresh and dynamic shopping experience for visitors.

What makes ShopSCAD even more unique are its unconventional displays, which add an extra layer of artistic flair to the shopping experience. These creative displays are reflective of the innovative spirit of SCAD and its community.

Following the success of the Savannah location, the college has expanded this concept, opening similar stores in Atlanta and Lacoste. These additional locations further extend the reach of SCAD's creative community, allowing a wider audience to experience and purchase the unique creations of its members.
