But one idea that seems to have achieved consensus in the local arts community is that the loss of the 100-year-old school that many considered the standard-bearer for fine arts education in Atlanta does not bode well for the city's arts scene.

Like the Art Institute of Atlanta, SCAD is considered by many in the arts community to be less focused on the fine arts and more vocational in nature, with a curriculum weighted toward graphic design, computer illustration, architecture and other disciplines calculated to help graduates snag real-world jobs.

What is my responsibility?" Ultimately, Ohanian decides that he cannot travel to Atlanta to work on, install, or speak about his show, and arranges to "direct the exhibition hands-off from Paris."
