“Supporting the future of the jewelry industry means investing in the people who will sustain it.” ~Scott Murphy, CEO. 
 
✨And invest they did! SCAD is proud to introduce the Jewelers Mutual Studio (formerly Fahm Hall) reimagined through a historic $10 million, 10-year partnership between SCAD and Jewelers Mutual. 
 
This transformative partnership promises to change the lives of so many Bees and the entire jewelry profession, now growing four times faster than any other luxury sector! More elite resources, more scholarships, and more SCAD brilliance in the talent pipeline. The future of the jewelry industry is in very good hands. 💪 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   


Over the years, I’ve had the joy of welcoming extraordinary guests to “On Creativity”—artists whose work has shaped culture and inspired audiences across generations. So many arrive at SCAD and say the very same thing: “I wish I had gone to school here.” 💫

You’ll laugh, they’ll cry. Something so wrong has never been so right.🐊⏰ 
 
The SCAD School of Film and Acting presents “Peter Pan Goes Wrong,”  playing through this weekend, May 22-24 at the Lucas Theatre. 
 
Brace yourselves for an awfully big adventure when the inept and accident-prone Cornley Drama Society sets out to present J.M. Barrie’s beloved classic, “Peter Pan,” their most audacious production to date. What ensues is two acts of hysterical disaster, flying mishaps, and cast disputes. Will they ever make it to Neverland?

SCAD FASHION 2026 transformed the SCAD Museum of Art courtyard into a sartorial dreamland of style and splendor. ✨

From first walk to final flourish, our Bees unveiled collections shimmering with virtuosity, glamour, and imagination—affirming once again that the future of fashion debuts at SCAD. 💖💫🐝

Happy 42nd “Bee-Day” to SCAD’s one and only Art T. Bee! 🐝🎉  
 
Introduced in May 1984, Art the Bee buzzed onto the scene just as SCAD’s athletic teams were taking flight. Over the years, our beloved mascot has metamorphosized—from retro stripes to the sleek, stylized look we know today.  
  
I chose the bee to represent SCAD because, according to physics, bees shouldn’t be able to fly—their bodies too big, their wings too small. The math, science tells us, doesn’t math...but they fly anyway (as high as Mount Everest, even!), defying the odds, just like SCAD. In the university’s early days, a few doubted SCAD’s ability to fly skyward, looking askance at our SCAD mission to prepare students for creative professions by braiding imagination and invention with business acumen and an entrepreneurial spirit. 
 
But fly we did and do! Higher and higher every day. SCAD became the world’s biggest and best university for creative pros. The spirit of Art the Bee, that odds-defier, bee-longs to all of us at SCAD! How fitting that Art’s birthday falls on World Bee Day. Here’s to 42 years of defying expectations and flying ever upward. We love you, Art! 💛🖤💛  
  

All SCAD student designs are extra! Help me decide which one to wear! ⭐️
 
SCAD FASHION returns to the SCAD Museum of Art courtyard on Friday, May 15—where the next generation of designers debuts conceptual couture and dramatic accessories. 
 
Consider this post a first glimpse of our students’ sartorial magic, with illustrations by SCAD professor and alum Lara Wolf (M.F.A., illustration, 2006), who perfectly captures the extraordinary éclat of our brilliant Bees’ senior collections. 
 

Watch the livestream at 8:30 p.m. EST as SCAD designers reveal what’s next in fashion! 👗💖🐝

⭐Introducing our latest Hive Highlight star—SCAD senior Sara Hamilton! ⭐ 

From Nashville to the heart of our Hive, Sara channels legacy into luminous form—crafting a jewelry collection rooted in shared knowledge and artistry passed down through generations. 

Guided by conversation with renowned jewelry designer , Sara pushed her practice further, experimenting with an unorthodox fusion of fibers and metal to solve design challenges with ingenuity and precision. Working with gemstones generously provided by , she divines meaning from material. 

Beyond the studio, Sara finds her spark in the creative cross-pollination of fellow Bees across disciplines. Follow Sara’s story ➡️ .hamilton.jewelry.
