The SCAD exhibitions department presents "Enchantment," an exhibition of recent works - including paintings, collages and sculptures - by Shinique Smith. "Enchantment" highlights Smith's lively pastiche of design and fashion motifs as well as forms, textures and colors inspired by the city landscape. The works stimulate our imagination as we uncover the creative ways Smith gives new life and meaning to found materials within the dialog of contemporary art. Held in Atlanta in conjunction with SCAD Style. This exhibition is free and open to the public.
