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.
Chris Nickels (B.F.A., illustration, 2012), our spring 2023 SCAD SERVE Alumni Ambassador, will lead SCAD volunteers in the creation of bright, organic, and fun pieces of art in communities that need them most. Our SCAD SERVE Alumni Ambassador will share his story as a working artist and SCAD alumna while inspiring, encouraging, and spreading messages of positivity and support along the way.
