Protégé celebrates the creative and professional relationships that grow and evolve between student and teacher at SCAD and beyond. The group exhibition showcases pairings of work by alumni artists and the faculty members with whom they worked closely during their studies, and who continue to support and inspire their practices. Works by mentors and mentees adjoin one another in the gallery, revealing connections of inspiration and ideas between artists. The exhibition features work across SCAD degree programs including fibers, graphic design, jewelry, illustration, sculpture, painting, printmaking, and photography, created both individually and collaboratively. Protégé reflects the important connections and exchanges artists make at SCAD that extend into their creative careers.
