The Scad Museum of Art presents Jack Leigh: Full Circle, Low Country Photographs, 1972-2004, an exhibit honoring and showcasing the work of the acclaimed Savannah-based photographer.

The exhibit, which is the first museum survey of work by Leigh since his passing 10 years ago, explores the inspiration of and influence of his photographs and features a reading room that will provide insight into Leigh’s creative process and legacy. The exhibit will also display works by Eva Rubenstein, Walker Evans, Helen Levitt, George Tice, Sally Mann, William Christenberry, William Eggleston, Lisa Robinson, Marcus Kenney, Tobia Makover, among others.
