Sniffing Out Creativity: SAIC Students Craft Scent Art on CBS News
At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), art is getting a breath of fresh air—literally. Recently featured by CBS, students under the guidance of Lecturer Tedd Neenan are venturing beyond the visual to create scent-based masterpieces. With a background in custom fragrances, Neenan guides these budding olfactory artists to capture emotions and stories in a bottle. From the woodsy essence of curiosity to the citrusy notes of playfulness, this innovative class is redefining artistic expression. Experience the future of art at SAIC, where the next big thing might just be right under your nose.
The show’s curator Alex Stark (BFA 2016) (who also works as a disability advisor in the Wellness Center) appeared on WGN’s Spotlight Chicago to discuss the exhibit.
