Spring 2024
Brittany M. Watkins (b. 1989, Carrollton, GA) is a distinguished multi-disciplinary artist, gallery director, and educator based in Columbia, SC. Appointed Director of Goodall Gallery at Columbia College in the Fall of 2023, she set out to reintroduce the gallery to the surrounding art community. Since then, the gallery has hosted seven exhibitions featuring twelve local artists and five regional artists with national and/or international recognition. Each exhibition has been thoughtfully curated, often pairing local and non-local artists to strengthen Columbia’s connection to the broader art world. Watkins has also revitalized the exhibition committee and selection process (starting Fall 2024) to ensure a diverse selection of artistic voices.
