SCAD’s Sidewalk Arts Festival in Forsyth Park – photos
Well it was a gorgeous day for SCAD’s Sidewalk Arts Festival in Forsyth Park. I don’t even pay that much attention to the squares themselves — I’m much more into the people-watching. As in previous years, the bright sun and…

SCAD’s New Alumni Concert in Forsyth Park features the Greyboy Allstars, Mayer Hawthorne, Gringo Star
UPDATE, 5/31: The schedule apparently calls for Gringo Star to perform at 6 p.m., The Greyboy Allstars at 7:30, and Mayer Hawthorne at 9. This strikes me as odd since SCAD’s calendar and various press releases have referred to The…
