The spring gallery hop features:
Desert Jewels: North African Jewelry and Photography from the Xavier Guerrand-Hermès Collection
ACA Gallery of SCAD, 1280 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
April 8-May 3
This exhibition showcases approximately 80 previously unexhibited pieces of North African jewelry and 27 late 19th- and early 20th-century photographs. Collected by Xavier Guerrand-Hermès, this work illuminates the diversity and beauty of traditional North African design. Crafted from silver, coral, amber and other semi-precious stones, the jewelry includes wedding necklaces, hair ornaments and fibula. Moroccan, Algerian and Egyptian jewelry shows common threads of Berber culture, as well as local variations in materials and motifs. The exhibition is organized by the Museum for African Art, New York. SCAD Style events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Angelo Filomeno: Mortality's Alchemist
Gallery Trois, 1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
March 23-May 31
Artist talk, 6 p.m., April 9.
Italian-born, New York-based artist Angelo Filomeno's first solo exhibitions in Savannah and Atlanta feature a series of embroidered silk panels. Using Gothic references such as skulls and visual imagery analogous to rays of light and botanicals often seen in Albrecht Dürer's 16th-century engravings, Filomeno incorporates his own love for silk fiber and embroidery with themes of vanitas, life and seductiveness.
30x30
Gallery See, SCAD-Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
April 9-30
The 30x30 exhibition presents a monumental painting installation commemorating SCAD's 30th anniversary. The configuration is created from 30 individual paintings commissioned by SCAD to represent the university's evolution since its founding in 1978. The completed canvases, made by faculty, staff, students and alumni, are hung together to celebrate SCAD's impressive growth.
