and Bearden among others.
In December 2005, Evans
donated a significant collection
of African-American art to
SCAD, and the gift has created
an invaluable resource for the
university, the region and the
nation.
The Evans Center will
provide a permanent home for
the Evans Collection as well as
an interdisciplinary facility
devoted to the study of African-
American art, literature and cul
ture that will include class
rooms, exhibition space, event
space and a theater. The center
also will also create the opportu
nity for SCAD to develop more
educational programs and rela
tionships with public and private
schools in Savannah and the
Southeast.
“My wife Linda and I
wanted the collection to stay in
our hometown,” said Evans.
“However, selecting SCAD as
the recipient was more than a
matter of location. The partner
ship with the university will
ensure that people of all ages
and diverse social and ethnic
backgrounds will have an
opportunity to view and leam
from the collection for many
years to come. Linda and I hope
that through this new Center for
African American Studies, visi
tors will recognize the impor
tance of preserving our cultural
heritage and of providing a lega
