After the rain delay SCAD SERVE needs your help to activate SCAD POP! Alumni artist, Emily Eldridge and assistant muralist Drew Borders will be ready to paint with your assistance.
SCAD SERVE aims to design, present, and produce hands-on extended learning workshops where SCAD SERVE Alumni Ambassadors guide students on how to improve community well-being through the planning and creation of community-based outdoor murals in our hometowns of Atlanta and Savannah.
Emily Eldridge (B.F.A., Illustration, 2004), our fall 2021 SCAD SERVE Alumni Ambassador, will lead SCAD students in the creation of bright, organic, and fun pieces of art in communities that need them most. Our SCAD SERVE Alumni Ambassador will share her story as a working artist and SCAD alumnus while inspiring, encouraging, and spreading messages of positivity and support along the way.
Help Emily transform the basketball court at Arthur Langford Jr. Park ( 213 Thornton St. SW Atlanta GA 30315) by registering for one or multiple shifts to apply paint and transform this environment.
Join in the creation of this mural Oct. 13-17, apply your skills and people-power to this mural.
Transportation will be provided daily for each shift, departing from the breezeway at 1600 Peachtree St at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and returning at 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., respectively.
We will provide everyone a SCAD SERVE t-shirt on site. Please wear closed toe shoes for your safety and protection. This activity will allow everyone to assist with social-distancing in mind and masks on.
We encourage volunteers to prepare themselves for working outside. Bring a reusable water bottle, apply sunscreen, and wear a hat to help protect yourself from sun exposure.
All volunteers must be in good health and pass their daily health screening to participate. Your well-being and the wellness of our community is important to us. If you can no longer volunteer due to symptoms of illness or exposure to COVID-19, please contact Assistant Director of SCAD SERVE Lauren Slaydon at 912.247.8917 and seek medical attention
If you have any questions or concerns about volunteering, transportation, or Paint our Parks, contact Dean Ballas at dballas@scad.edu or Lauren Slaydon at lslaydon@scad.edu
