SCAD Sand Arts Festival 2026

Make a splash at SCAD Sand Arts Festival, a beach-side sculpture competition where SCAD Bees unite for a chance to win big! Students and alumni compete solo or in teams to delight judges and spectators alike.

Visiting artist Chris Nitsche shares a dynamic, large-scale installation rooted in immersion and the exploration of materiality, environment, and collaborative making on the shoreline. Grab your sunscreen, shades, and picnic lunches for a day packed with fun!

This event, hosted by the SCAD School of Foundation Studies, is free and open to public viewing
