Summer is almost here! There are many ways to enjoy the beach, and here is one. Come to the Sand Arts Festival. This competition can be a great inspiration to all sandcastle builders on the coast. Lots of SCAD students participate – so the creative sandcastles are well worth a trip. Bring your whole gang to Tybee Island for a day on the beach.
On Friday, May 8, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., the Sand Arts Festival will feature competitions in sand castle design, sand sculpture, sand relief and wind sculpture on Tybee Island, Ga. Contestants may work individually or in teams. Entries in the sand castle, sand sculpture and sand relief competitions are judged for creativity of concept and design, as well as excellence of craft and detail. Entries in the wind sculpture competition are evaluated according to structural development, surface decoration and ability to fly. SCAD faculty members judge all competitions.
Alyssa Couturier (B.F.A., fashion, 2008) and senior painting student Jesse Herndon won first place in the Gray’s Reef Sea Creature Contest with their “Octopus†creation.
