The Savannah College of Art and Design held its annual Sidewalk Arts Festival Saturday, April 24, 2010, in Forsyth Park. Thousands of visitors viewed temporary chalk masterpieces created on the walkways of the historic park, and approximately 600 SCAD students competed for prizes. Over 100 SCAD alumni and more than 100 prospective students also participated in the competition. For the inaugural Cyberwalk Arts Contest, nearly 100 artists logged on for the online competition.
