SCAD-Atlanta’s ACA Library receives grant from the Halle Foundation
ATLANTA — The Halle Foundation, an independent, public grant-making charity established by Claus M. Halle, awarded the Savannah College of Art and Design-Atlanta a $50,000 grant that will fund a unique artists’ books collaboration between SCAD-Atlanta and HBK Braunschweig in Germany.
“No Translation Required: Artists’ Books in Germany and Georgia” is a two-fold project that will provide students from both institutions with a unique opportunity for an international exchange focused on book arts and artists.
In June 2009, students from both campuses will work together to create innovative books that reflect a synthesis of their separate cultures in both spirit and design. The collaboration will culminate in an exhibition of artists’ books from both SCAD and a German collection; the exhibition will first appear in Germany and then at SCAD-Atlanta.
The Halle Foundation is an independent, public grant-making charity established by Claus M. Halle to support new and innovative projects that further its mission of promoting knowledge and friendship between the people of Germany and the United States.
Named one of Kaplan’s “25 cutting-edge schools with an eye toward the future,” the Savannah College of Art and Design is a private, nonprofit, accredited institution with locations in Atlanta and Savannah, Ga., and in Lacoste, France. Undergraduate and graduate degree programs also are offered online through SCAD-eLearning.
